Expert, judgement-free, science-based colour analysis to help you look and feel like you—every day.
Unsure which colours bring you alive (and which wash you out)? Together we’ll discover the shades that brighten your face and eyes, and the ones to skip, so getting dressed feels effortless—and wearing your colours becomes a daily joy.
Tired of buying items that go unworn? Learn how to choose pieces that mix and match, so new purchases earn their place and old favourites start working again.
Want to look fresh and confident with less effort? With a clear palette and a few easy habits, you’ll look rested and polished—without a big wardrobe or long routines.
You’re in the right place. My approach is warm, practical, judgement‑free and science‑based. I’ll guide you step by step so you leave confident and ready to use your colours—and, where applicable, with a simple, personalised make‑up routine you can repeat at home.
Join me for a relaxed session in Lee (SE12). Enjoy light refreshments while we gently explore what suits you—at your pace.
My journey with House of Colour began some 20 years ago. It was a huge turning point in my life.
Finding out which colours bring me alive has given me a lasting joy I could never have imagined when I walked through that studio door for the first time.
Knowing how to dress to reflect who I truly am has revolutionised my self-confidence. It has made getting ready each morning a delight, not a chore.
It has saved me a huge amount of time and money on shopping, and has reduced my personal environmental impact considerably.
I can’t wait to share all this with you, too.

View TestimonialLet me preface this by complimenting the studio space in which I sat for my consultation: oodles of natural light and frolicking squirrels, it really was a dream. Next, the most delicious coffee and because I had not eaten anything, a cheese scone - not normally part of the service but homemade, warm and glorious.
Now to the service itself. It was immediately apparent that I was in the hands of a master. Ann was patient and thorough, telling me not only what she was doing but showing me step by step how she arrived at my season. Each time she placed the right colours on me, I all but popped out of the mirror like some HD image. It was magical. Ann was genuinely thrilled each time I 'popped'! I am a 'Sultry Winter' and walked out with a renewed confidence in my own appearance which I have sadly been neglecting lately. I am currently overhauling my wardrobe - even though she told me to do so piecemeal. I am just so excited because I look amazing and most importantly, alive.
I've just got to fight the sudden urge for world domination. My confidence is sky high!

View TestimonialAnn has a great eye for colour and I was particularly struck by how she was able to differentiate between shades that are very close to one another, such as powder pink and ice pink, and judge which one worked best with my skin tone to make me look the most radiant. She is warm and positive and made me feel at home, while always maintaining the highest professional standards. I came away from my session not only knowing that I’m a Summer, and full of ideas for new colours to try out that I would previously have avoided, but also feeling better about myself and my ability to make great style choices. I loved having my colours done by Ann and I thoroughly recommend anyone who is considering it to book with her!

Colour analysis expert and personal image consultant in Essex, helping you to curate an authentic and confidence-boosting wardrobe.

Your Colour Analysis and Personal Stylist Based in Upminster, Essex, London
Choosing what to wear or what to shop for can sometimes feel overwhelming - especially after a big life change, whether it’s a new career, parenthood, recovery or simply losing your self-confidence.
Understanding what truly honours your unique body, personality and lifestyle brings clarity and confidence. Not only will you feel and look your best, you will shop and dress with purpose, saving both time and money.
Drawing on 40 years of colour science and fashion psychology, I offer professional colour and style analysis in Essex and East London. Together, we’ll develop the tools to help you create a wardrobe that feels empowering, effortlessly authentic and uniquely you.
Why Now Might Be The Best Time To Invest In Yourself
Do you feel truly confident and seen in what you wear or is your wardrobe holding you back from feeling your best?
Many of my clients choose to take a step forward in their style journey for:
- Confidence: They struggled to know the colours and styles of clothes that made them look and feel good.
- Ease: Shopping became hard work—there were simply too many items to figure out what would actually suit them.
- Creativity: They did not know how to add colour to their outfits or where to start.
- Value: They were spending money on clothes they rarely wore. Did you know the majority of people only wear about 20% of their wardrobe?
- Impact: They wanted to ensure their clothes projected a strong image that aligns with their personality and career goals.
Colour analysis is often the start of the style journey followed by a personal style analysis. Together, these two core services empower you to create an authentic signature style and dress with a sense of ease and confidence every single day.

A Personal Note on Finding Your Way Back to "You"
I know how it feels to let your wardrobe make you feel down or lacking in confidence. Before I became a stylist in Upminster, I spent years feeling disconnected from my reflection, hiding behind "safe" clothes that didn't represent the real me.
- The Struggle: Early in my teaching career, I tried to dress like everyone else but never felt comfortable in my own skin. Shopping was an exhausting chore and my "beauty routine" was just a swipe of pink Vaseline and mascara - a quick fix that ignored the professional, vibrant woman I wanted to be.
- The Turning Point: My family gifted me a colour analysis and the shift was electric. I started wearing my "wow" colours and - for the first time - lipstick! The world noticed my new energy; a child in my class even said, "You look really pretty today, Miss."
- The Formula: Completing a style analysis was the final piece. I learned to honour my unique body and personality rather than trying to fit a mould. I discovered a "quiet self-confidence" and realised that true style is simply being authentically true to yourself.
Today, I help men and women across Essex and London find that same sense of pride. I found my way home to "me" through colour and style and I can’t wait to help you do the same.

Style Analysis
-
Discover the science and psychology behind personal style by unlocking the power of you. During a style analysis, I'll empower you to seamlessly combine your inner self with your outward appearance, so you can step out into the world radiating confidence as your authentic self.
We consider your proportions, personality, and preferences to give you a style framework - we call this a “Clothing Personality."
You will confidently know which fabrics, prints, patterns, accessories, necklines, details, and silhouettes flatter your unique body architecture best. By integrating your personality into this framework, our style analysis transcends mere fashion guidance, going a step further to help you identify how you feel in different styles and pieces, ensuring that your wardrobe not only reflects your style but also represents your individuality.
For this appointment, you’ll bring 5–10 items from your closet that you LOVE and 5–10 that make you wonder why you don’t feel good when putting them on. Together, we’ll use this information to help you discover why you gravitated toward and loved certain pieces and what it is about the others that weren’t working for you, saving you time and money in the future! At House of Colour, we believe clothing needs to be adjusted to you, not the other way around. It is our goal to make sure you feel your most confident as who you are and how you look right now.
You’ll leave with a book with detailed information specific to you that we’ll fill out during the appointment and a Clothing Personality card with keywords that will help guide you when shopping. If you’ve already had a colour analysis, this card can be inserted into your fan which will make shopping easy and efficient!
Personal Styling Consultations with House of Colour Upminster, Brentwood, Essex can be delivered one to one for £375 or in a group for £325 per person. Maximum three people per session.
Wardrobe Edit
-
This appointment is designed to apply all the knowledge you gained in your colour and/or style analysis and appointment and apply it to your own wardrobe. Together, we'll filter through the pieces you don’t wear so you can donate or resell them, keeping your closet free from clutter so you can better mix and match pieces in your wardrobe to create more looks with fewer items.
This process liberates your closet from clutter, empowering you to effortlessly mix and match pieces to unlock endless styling possibilities with fewer items.
Wardrobe Edits are a three hour service for £225 plus any travel costs if required.
Any additional time is priced at £75 per hour.

It was very informative, fun, and really interesting to hear about how colour analysis developed. We were made to feel very welcome and comfortable and Irene put us at ease. She was very professional and answered all of my questions. Irene also gave us makeup recommendations based on our colour palette that I have taken on board. She was very aware of my preferences in terms of understated and natural makeup and I have already had compliments on my new makeup from friends and family. I would definitely recommend a colour analysis session with Irene!

View TestimonialMy daughter and I had a great morning having our colours done with Irene. She was friendly and professional and made us feel very comfortable in her studio in her home. She was very passionate and knowledgeable and was really good with the makeup. She went out of her way to deliver us a gift voucher and is going to drop makeup we ordered round to us. I went for a rerate which was interesting as, over the last 20 years my wow colours have definitely changed and my daughter had a (very affordable) kids session which gave her all her colour info and a bit of makeup. Excellent.

View TestimonialIrene is an absolute star! I hired her for a mini-color analysis with me and my friends for my 30th birthday party in London, and it was such a wonderful experience. She was incredibly prompt and communicative, and she brought such a positivity to the gathering. She explained her analysis as she went along, and provided suggestions for our best color palettes and metals. She also brought with her some makeup samples for us to try out. Even though we went over our schduled time, she stayed to make sure everyone got their analysis done. I would 100% recommend Irene for any parties or get-togethers, she is a complete professional, and my experience with her could not have gone better! I also was very pleased that on her online resources, she gives examples of color analysis on people of color, which makes her very versatile.

My Story
House of Colour – Revealing What’s Already Within You
When I discovered House of Colour, I realised it was something much deeper than a method for choosing clothes or colours. It was a journey of self-connection, acceptance, and authenticity. Because our image isn’t something we need to change — it’s something worth revealing.
As a certified image consultant at House of Colour Athens North, based in Kifissia, I help people discover their unique colour palette, personal style, and the power that lies within their authentic image.
Founded in 1985 in the UK and present in Greece since 1991, House of Colour is a global leader in image consulting and personal branding. Its philosophy combines knowledge, colour science, and a deep understanding of human personality — showing us how to express who we truly are with confidence, style, and authenticity.
During our training in the UK, a woman who volunteered for a session said something I will never forget:
“I’ve done all the inside work — now it’s time to do the outside.”
That phrase captured the essence of what I believe: the journey of self-awareness isn’t complete without our image, our self-expression, and our self-care. It’s the moment when our inner work becomes visible — and that visibility brings true confidence and joy.
Personally, I experienced House of Colour as a form of self-care during a challenging time in my life. When I discovered my colours, I felt the magic of colour bringing me back into the light. It showed me that image can be a tool for self-awareness, self-respect, and self-love — not as superficial change, but as a deep renewal of our relationship with ourselves.
I work with women and men who want to refine or rediscover their image, and with those at turning points in life — a new career, a body change, motherhood, menopause, or recovery. For anyone ready for a restart, this process reconnects you with yourself and your confidence.
My role as an image consultant is to transform you, not superficially, but profoundly — helping you release limiting beliefs, embrace compliments, and dare to change. Change can feel uncomfortable, but without it, we can’t reveal our truest selves.
I offer knowledge, tools, and understanding so that you can see yourself with new eyes and choose consciously the colours and styles that reflect your personality, lifestyle, and energy. Because beauty isn’t something I give you — it already lives within you.
Every time I see someone smiling at their reflection, recognising themselves through the colours that truly belong to them, I’m reminded of this truth:
The most beautiful thing you can wear is your authenticity.
House of Colour – Αναδεικνύοντας αυτό που ήδη είσαι
Όταν ανακάλυψα το House of Colour, ένιωσα ότι είχα βρει κάτι πολύ πιο βαθύ από μια μέθοδο για να επιλέγεις χρώματα ή ρούχα. Ήταν μια διαδικασία σύνδεσης με τον εαυτό μου, ένα ταξίδι προς την αποδοχή, την αυθεντικότητα και την εσωτερική αρμονία. Γιατί η εικόνα μας δεν είναι κάτι που πρέπει να αλλάξουμε· είναι κάτι που αξίζει να αναδείξουμε.
Ως certified image consultant του House of Colour, με στούντιο στην Κηφισιά, έχω τη χαρά να βοηθώ ανθρώπους να ανακαλύψουν τη δική τους μοναδική χρωματική παλέτα, το προσωπικό τους στυλ και, κυρίως, τη δύναμη που κρύβεται μέσα στην αυθεντική τους εικόνα.
Το House of Colour, μια εταιρία που ιδρύθηκε το 1985 στη Μεγάλη Βρετανία και βρίσκεται στην Ελλάδα από το 1991, είναι διεθνής ηγέτης στο image consulting και το personal branding. Η φιλοσοφία του βασίζεται στη γνώση, την επιστήμη του χρώματος και τη βαθιά κατανόηση της ανθρώπινης προσωπικότητας. Δεν μιλάμε απλώς για ρούχα ή μακιγιάζ· μιλάμε για το πώς μπορούμε να εκφράσουμε ποιοι είμαστε μέσα από την εικόνα μας — με τρόπο αυθεντικό, σύγχρονο και γεμάτο αυτοπεποίθηση.
Κατά τη διάρκεια της εκπαίδευσής μας στην Αγγλία, μια κυρία που ήρθε για consultation και μας βοήθησε στην πρακτική μας είπε κάτι που δεν θα ξεχάσω ποτέ:
«Έχω ολοκληρώσει όλη τη δουλειά με τον εαυτό μου, τώρα ήρθε η στιγμή να ασχοληθώ με την εξωτερική μου εικόνα.»
Μας έδειξε ότι το ταξίδι της αυτογνωσίας δεν αφορά μόνο τη συναισθηματική ή ψυχολογική μας δουλειά. Περιλαμβάνει και την εικόνα μας, την αυτοέκφραση και τη φροντίδα του εαυτού. Είναι η στιγμή που η φροντίδα του εαυτού γίνεται ορατή — και αυτή η διαδικασία μπορεί να φέρει πραγματική αυτοπεποίθηση και χαρά.
Προσωπικά, βίωσα το House of Colour ως μορφή φροντίδας του εαυτού σε μια δύσκολη περίοδο για μένα. Μέσα από τα χρώματα, το στυλ και την κατανόηση της εικόνας μου, ένιωσα τη μαγεία των χρωμάτων να με επαναφέρει στο φως. Ήταν μια εμπειρία που μου έδειξε πόσο η εικόνα μπορεί να γίνει εργαλείο αυτογνωσίας, αυτοσεβασμού και αγάπης για τον εαυτό μας, όχι ως επιφανειακή αλλαγή, αλλά ως ουσιαστική ανανέωση της σχέσης μας με τον ίδιο μας τον εαυτό.
Απευθύνομαι σε γυναίκες και άντρες που γνωρίζουν ήδη την εμφάνισή τους και θέλουν να την τελειοποιήσουν, σε ανθρώπους που δεν ζουν σε ιδανικά πρότυπα και αναζητούν καθοδήγηση για να αναδείξουν τον εαυτό τους. Σε όσους βρίσκονται σε σημαντικό turning point της ζωής — αλλαγή καριέρας, νέα οικογενειακή φάση, έλευση παιδιών, αλλαγές στο σώμα, εμμηνόπαυση ή αντιμετώπιση ασθένειας. Σε αυτούς που χρειάζονται ένα restart, για να ξαναβρούν τον εαυτό τους, την αυτοπεποίθηση και τη σύνδεση με την εικόνα τους.
Ο ρόλος μου ως image consultant είναι να σας μεταμορφώσω, όχι επιφανειακά, αλλά βαθιά — να σας βοηθήσω να παραμερίσετε στερεότυπα, να αγκαλιάσετε τον εαυτό σας, να δεχτείτε κοπλιμέντα και να τολμήσετε την αλλαγή. Η αλλαγή πάντα μας ξεβολεύει, αλλά χωρίς αυτήν δεν μπορούμε να αναδείξουμε τον αληθινό μας εαυτό. Στόχος μου είναι να σας δώσω γνώση, εργαλεία και κατανόηση, ώστε να ανακαλύψετε και να αναδείξετε τον εαυτό σας με νέο βλέμμα. Η ομορφιά δεν είναι κάτι που σας δίνω εγώ· υπάρχει ήδη μέσα σας
Κάθε φορά που βλέπω έναν άνθρωπο να χαμογελά μπροστά στον καθρέφτη, αναγνωρίζοντας τον εαυτό του μέσα από τα χρώματα και τα ρούχα που του ταιριάζουν πραγματικά, καταλαβαίνω πόσο σημαντικό είναι αυτό ειδικά όταν περνάμε αλλαγές στη ζωή μας. Η εικόνα γίνεται τότε ένα εργαλείο αυτογνωσίας και αυτοπεποίθησης — ένας τρόπος να πούμε στον κόσμο και στον εαυτό μας: “Αυτός/ή είμαι, και είμαι αρκετός/η, ειμαι ορατός/η.”
Στο House of Colour Athens North, στόχος μου είναι να δημιουργώ έναν χώρο όπου οι άνθρωποι νιώθουν ελεύθεροι να ανακαλύψουν και να αγαπήσουν τον εαυτό τους. Γιατί τελικά, το πιο όμορφο που μπορούμε να φορέσουμε είναι η αυθεντικότητά μας.If you look good, you feel good - and I can teach you how to do this!

Learning how to be my true authentic self has been life changing for me. Being able to impart this gift to all inclusive of those within the D/deaf Community is amazing!
Feeling confident and comfortable in your own skin - is something that most of us aspire to be!
The key to achieving this is by understanding how to dress who we really are both on the inside as well as reflecting this on the outside by the clothes we choose to wear.
I'm passionate for you to both learn and embrace you being the best version of YOU. Wherever you may currently be or whatever area/stage of life you are in. Maybe you are looking for a change and need a first step, or you feel you have lost your direction and are looking for inspiration for where to go. Maybe juggling lots of roles has left you wondering that you have lost your identity or sense of self?
Maybe you're getting married and would love to know which are your best colours? I can absolutely help you with this!
My House of Colour Journey started in 2004 and this was truly a life changing experience for me, I felt I now had 'permission' to be myself, that it didn't matter that I wasn't the same as my peers. As a busy Mum of 5 children and working as a British Sign Language Interpreter, I truly understand how challenging it can be to diversify our many roles, and that is why it is even more important that we retain our sense of who we are.
The skills and knowledge I have attained will enable me to guide and support you on your amazing journey of self discovery, a truly empowering and life affirming experience! To help you discover and understand your own unique and individual personal colour and style.
Being able to offer this lifelong confidence to all - inclusive of the D/deaf Community providing a BSL interpretation.
If you would like to learn more or have any enquiries, please email me or I can arrange for a facetime/whatsapp call (D/deaf -BSL only)
I would love to meet you!

Transform getting dressed everyday into an effortless and joyful experience with our life-changing colour analysis.
Through precision-dyed drapes and my expert training, I provide you with invaluable insights of knowing your season; a palette of colours customised to your unique undertones. Our approach is inclusive, serving people of all ages, races, ethnicities, and genders, ensuring that your season remains a timeless guide throughout your life.
Experience the three essential components of our colour sessions:

Next, I will provide advice on jewellery, watches, glasses, and, when applicable, hair and makeup based on your season. Our makeup eliminates the guesswork, enhancing your natural beauty with colours perfectly suited to you. Finally, we’ll dive further into your season as we identify the best colours for both your casual and professional life, uncovering your collection of WOW colours.

Style Analysis
-
Discover the science and psychology behind personal style by unlocking the power of you. During a style analysis, I'll empower you to seamlessly combine your inner self with your outward appearance, so you can step out into the world radiating confidence as your authentic self.
We consider your proportions, personality, and preferences to give you a style framework - we call this a “Clothing Personality."
You will confidently know which fabrics, prints, patterns, accessories, necklines, details, and silhouettes flatter your unique body architecture best. By integrating your personality into this framework, our style analysis transcends mere fashion guidance, going a step further to help you identify how you feel in different styles and pieces, ensuring that your wardrobe not only reflects your style but also represents your individuality.
For this appointment, you’ll bring 5–10 items from your closet that you LOVE and 5–10 that make you wonder why you don’t feel good when putting them on. Together, we’ll use this information to help you discover why you gravitated toward and loved certain pieces and what it is about the others that weren’t working for you, saving you time and money in the future! At House of Colour, we believe clothing needs to be adjusted to you, not the other way around. It is our goal to make sure you feel your most confident as who you are and how you look right now.
You’ll leave with a book with detailed information specific to you that we’ll fill out during the appointment and a Clothing Personality card with keywords that will help guide you when shopping. If you’ve already had a colour analysis, this card can be inserted into your fan which will make shopping easy and efficient!

Hello and welcome! I'm Katie Thompson, your dedicated colour consultant at House of Colour, Lossiemouth, here to help you discover your true colours and create a wardrobe that reflects your unique personality and lifestyle.
Imagine showing up as the best version of you—Every. Single. Day.
We’ve all been there—stuck in the same routine of black leggings and that comfy jumper that somehow has become your "go-to." It’s easy to slip into the comfort of a uniform, especially when life feels busy or you just can’t seem to find the time or energy to experiment with your wardrobe. But here’s the thing: fashion isn’t just about following trends or wearing what everyone else is wearing. It’s about you—your personality, your mood, and your unique identity.
Maybe you’re following every influencer’s fashion move and buying into the latest trends, only to find that they don’t quite look like they do on Instagram.
That’s okay. In fact, it’s more common than you think. You might even find yourself wondering, “What happened to my sense of style? Where did my color go?” You’re not alone in this. Many of us lose touch with our wardrobe’s true purpose: to make us feel like the best version of ourselves.
The good news?
It’s never too late to get back on track! Whether you’re rediscovering your style after years of routine, wanting to nail that perfect look every time, or just looking for a little guidance on how to bring more color and life into your fashion choices—then house of colour is for you!
To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment. - Ralph Waldo Emerson
From a young age, I've been passionate about fashion, inspired by diverse family styles and pop culture. After studying beauty in college and working in the beauty industry, life shifted with COVID-19, leading me to focus on family. In 2016, a colour analysis reignited my passion, and by 2019, a style consultation helped me rediscover my confidence and authenticity, inspiring me to become a consultant.
Looking to feel more like yourself—confident, comfortable, and completely at ease?
House of Colour offers a professional approach backed by research, helping clients understand why certain colours suit them.
My goal is to share the transformative power of colour analysis, which gave me confidence, joy in shopping, and a positive self-image. I want to help people of all ages find their best colours and feel their most authentic selves.
I believe that colour and style are powerful tools for self-expression and confidence.
Each person has a unique palette that enhances their natural beauty and reflects their personality. My goal is to help clients discover the colours that make them feel vibrant and authentic.
Style, to me, is about understanding what makes you feel comfortable and confident, not following trends. I strive to empower my clients to embrace their individuality and make informed choices that highlight their best features.
Through my consultations, I aim to provide a supportive and enjoyable experience, guiding clients to uncover their true potential and feel their best every day.
This approach also promotes sustainability by encouraging investment in clothes that you will wear again and again for a lifetime, rather than fast fashion. By choosing pieces that truly suit you, you can build a timeless wardrobe that reduces waste and supports a more sustainable lifestyle.
An introduction to my key offerings.

Wardrobe Edit
-
This appointment is designed to apply all the knowledge you gained in your colour and/or style analysis and appointment and apply it to your own wardrobe. Together, we'll filter through the pieces you don’t wear so you can donate or resell them, keeping your closet free from clutter so you can better mix and match pieces in your wardrobe to create more looks with fewer items.
This process liberates your closet from clutter, empowering you to effortlessly mix and match pieces to unlock endless styling possibilities with fewer items.
The Wardrobe Edit
The Wardrobe Edit is the next step in your personalized style journey. During this in-home or virtual session, I will guide you through your existing wardrobe, helping you identify what works, what doesn’t, and what’s missing. It’s more than just decluttering; it’s about discovering your personal style and building a wardrobe that reflects who you are and how you live.
This service is all about you feeling seen, supported, and confident. I will offer expert advice, outfit suggestions, and tips for filling in the gaps. By the end of the session, you’ll have a clearer sense of direction and a solid foundation to build on as your style evolves.
Clients love this step, not just for the clarity it brings, but for the transformation it inspires.

Colour Analysis

Transform getting dressed everyday into an effortless and joyful experience with our life-changing colour analysis.
Through precision-dyed drapes and my expert training, I provide you with invaluable insights of knowing your season; a palette of colours customised to your unique undertones. Our approach is inclusive, serving people of all ages, races, ethnicities, and genders, ensuring that your season remains a timeless guide throughout your life.
Experience the three essential components of our colour sessions:
First is our world-class, scientific draping process that we have refined for excellence and accuracy over the past four decades. Next, I will provide advice on jewellery, watches, glasses, and, when applicable, hair and makeup based on your season. Our makeup eliminates the guesswork, enhancing your natural beauty with colours perfectly suited to you. Finally, we’ll dive further into your season as we identify the best colours for both your casual and professional life, uncovering your collection of WOW colours.
You will leave your appointment equipped with a fan of your seasonal swatches and a tailored brochure filled with personalised tips and reminders specific to you, empowering you to confidently shop for and wear your new colours!

Discover the science and psychology behind personal style by unlocking the power of you. During a style analysis, I'll empower you to seamlessly combine your inner self with your outward appearance, so you can step out into the world radiating confidence as your authentic self.
We consider your proportions, personality, and preferences to give you a style framework - we call this a “Clothing Personality."
You will confidently know which fabrics, prints, patterns, accessories, necklines, details, and silhouettes flatter your unique body architecture best. By integrating your personality into this framework, our style analysis transcends mere fashion guidance, going a step further to help you identify how you feel in different styles and pieces, ensuring that your wardrobe not only reflects your style but also represents your individuality.
For this appointment, you’ll bring 5–10 items from your closet that you LOVE and 5–10 that make you wonder why you don’t feel good when putting them on. Together, we’ll use this information to help you discover why you gravitated toward and loved certain pieces and what it is about the others that weren’t working for you, saving you time and money in the future! At House of Colour, we believe clothing needs to be adjusted to you, not the other way around. It is our goal to make sure you feel your most confident as who you are and how you look right now.
You’ll leave with a book with detailed information specific to you that we’ll fill out during the appointment and a Clothing Personality card with keywords that will help guide you when shopping. If you’ve already had a colour analysis, this card can be inserted into your fan which will make shopping easy and efficient!

View TestimonialIch möchte gerne meine Erfahrung mit House of Colour teilen, die ich dank Jenni machen durfte. Sie ist die erste House of Colour Imageberaterin in der Schweiz geworden und hat ihr eigenes Studio in Winterthur eröffnet. Das Konzept der Farbberatung hat mich von Anfang an neugierig gemacht, aber ich wusste nicht genau, was mich erwarten würde. Ich muss sagen, das Ergebnis hat all meine Erwartungen übertroffen. Der gesamte Prozess war nicht nur sehr interessant, sondern hat auch unglaublich viel Spass gemacht. Jenni hat mir alles perfekt erklärt, und plötzlich ergaben viele Dinge Sinn. Mir wurde klar, warum ich mich in bestimmten Farben natürlicherweise wohler fühle als in anderen. Jetzt weiss ich auch, welche Farben mir stehen und wie ich sie in meinem Alltag nutzen kann. Ich hätte am liebsten meinen gesamten Kleiderschrank erneuert! Ich habe mir sogar schon neue Trainingskleider bestellt – keine schwarzen Teile, höchstens dunkelblau, und sonst nur bunte Farben 😊! Jenni ist einfach grossartig – sie hat ein tolles Gespür dafür, ist der richtige Mensch am richtigen Platz, und es ist deutlich zu spüren, dass sie das Ganze mit Herz macht und es ihr wirklich Freude bereitet!

Et voilà: das Spiegelbild zeigt eine äusserst attraktive Person. Mein Fazit – ich habe mit dem persönlichen Farbfächer ein perfektes und nützliches Werkzeug in den Händen, um mich selbstbewusst um mein Outfit zu kümmern. Mit Jennifers ausgewiesenem Wissen war die Reise sehr informativ und lehrreich.

Die Beratung war durch und durch beeindruckend. Unsere Erfahrung als Paar lässt sich in drei Worten zusammenfassen: hochprofessionell, kundenzentriert und empathisch. Wir haben unglaublich viel über Farben und ihre Wirkung gelernt und die Atmosphäre war einfach perfekt – liebevoll und clean eingerichtet, sodass man sich ganz auf die Beratung und die eigene „Farbreise“ konzentrieren konnte.
Besonders wertvoll waren die Tipps, wie wir uns als Paar farblich aufeinander abgestimmt kleiden können – das bringt noch einmal eine ganz neue Harmonie in den Alltag! Die gemeinsame Erfahrung war bereichernd, und wir haben einander aus einer neuen Perspektive kennengelernt. Diese B.F.F. Session ist wirklich für Paare empfehlenswert! Herzlichen Dank nochmals an dieser Stelle – liebe Jennifer!

Discover the science and psychology behind personal style by unlocking the power of you. During a style analysis, I'll empower you to seamlessly combine your inner self with your outward appearance, so you can step out into the world radiating confidence as your authentic self.
We consider your proportions, personality, and preferences to give you a style framework - we call this a “Clothing Personality."
You will confidently know which fabrics, prints, patterns, accessories, necklines, details, and silhouettes flatter your unique body architecture best. By integrating your personality into this framework, our style analysis transcends mere fashion guidance, going a step further to help you identify how you feel in different styles and pieces, ensuring that your wardrobe not only reflects your style but also represents your individuality.
For this appointment, you’ll bring 5–10 items from your closet that you LOVE and 5–10 that make you wonder why you don’t feel good when putting them on. Together, we’ll use this information to help you discover why you gravitated toward and loved certain pieces and what it is about the others that weren’t working for you, saving you time and money in the future! At House of Colour, we believe clothing needs to be adjusted to you, not the other way around. It is our goal to make sure you feel your most confident as who you are and how you look right now.

If you’ve already had a colour analysis, this card can be inserted into your fan which will make shopping easy and efficient!
Never feel uncomfortable in your clothes again!
Style analysis is an incredibly powerful tool for unlocking a wardrobe that truly works for you. It’s more than just clothes—it’s about feeling confident, comfortable, and authentic in what you wear. With a personalized approach, we break down the key elements of your body, personality, and preferences to create a style that’s uniquely yours.
The style consultation process is straightforward and tailored to you:
Body Geometrics: We begin by taking precise measurements to understand your body shape and proportions, ensuring we dress you in a way that flatters your figure.
Personality Quiz: Next, we dive into a short personality quiz to learn more about your preferences, lifestyle, and how you want your style to reflect who you are.
Clothing Review: We then go through the clothes you've brought, assessing what works, what doesn’t, and why—so we can make informed choices moving forward.
Clothing Personality: Once I've analysed your body type and personality, we discuss your clothing personality—the style profile that aligns with your unique traits and how to dress authentically, comfortably, and confidently.
By the end, you'll have a clear understanding of how to curate a wardrobe that truly fits your body, lifestyle, and personality.

Discover the science and psychology behind personal style by unlocking the power of you. During a style analysis, I'll empower you to seamlessly combine your inner self with your outward appearance, so you can step out into the world radiating confidence as your authentic self.
We consider your proportions, personality, and preferences to give you a style framework - we call this a “Clothing Personality."
You will confidently know which fabrics, prints, patterns, accessories, necklines, details, and silhouettes flatter your unique body architecture best. By integrating your personality into this framework, our style analysis transcends mere fashion guidance, going a step further to help you identify how you feel in different styles and pieces, ensuring that your wardrobe not only reflects your style but also represents your individuality.
For this appointment, you’ll bring 5–10 items from your closet that you LOVE and 5–10 that make you wonder why you don’t feel good when putting them on. Together, we’ll use this information to help you discover why you gravitated toward and loved certain pieces and what it is about the others that weren’t working for you, saving you time and money in the future! At House of Colour, we believe clothing needs to be adjusted to you, not the other way around. It is our goal to make sure you feel your most confident as who you are and how you look right now.
You’ll leave with a book with detailed information specific to you that we’ll fill out during the appointment and a Clothing Personality card with keywords that will help guide you when shopping. If you’ve already had a colour analysis, this card can be inserted into your fan which will make shopping easy and efficient!

View TestimonialI had one of the most amazing experiences of my life with Jo!
I was looking for some professional advice to advance my dressing style and appearance. I wanted to completely renew my wardrobe with stylish clothes that suit me, bring out my beauty and make me glow!
Jo has helped me immensely with this dream of mine! I had both the color and styling analysis sessions with her. I am very happy that I finally understand which colors make me glow and which style suit me both body- and personality wise.
Then I had an amazing shopping experience with her. Under Jo’s guidance, we explored several brands and at the end of the session I had bought myself 20 pieces of brand-new, colorful and high-quality clothes and shoes, that not only make me glow but also meet my personal needs and requirements! Jo also provided advice on how to combine colors together and how to use accessories for a maximum effect!
Having wearing clothes and accessories of my color and of my style, I constantly get complements! My self-esteem and the view that I have for myself have been enhanced and I feel more confident with myself!
Jo’s professionalism and high-standard knowledge combined with her welcoming and warm personality gained my trust and made me feel relaxed and to leave myself to her hands!
This has been a very self-empowering experience, and I wish I had done this long ago! It is totally worth it and I highly recommend Jo!!!

View TestimonialA Truly Transformative Experience!
I recently had the pleasure of a colour analysis session with Jo, and it was an absolutely brilliant afternoon. Jo's expertise and warm personality made the entire process so interesting and fun!
I went in believing I was ‘Autumn’ but I am actually ‘Summer’! My daughter was ‘Spring’ and she thought she was ‘Summer’ 😂 so we were both very surprised, discovering fantastic new colours and shades that we never would have chosen! Now my husband has asked me to book him on so he can know what will make him look his best! 🤩
Jo is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the process, so you can’t help but be engaged. She really has the power to transform how you see yourself and your style. I highly recommend booking a session with Jo – you’ll love it!

View TestimonialI visited Jo for a colour analysis session in preparation for my wedding, and it was a wonderful and eye opening experience!
We began with an overview of the history and principles behind colour analysis, which helped me understand the process.
Jo then began identifying my season, highlighting which colours are most flattering to me—categorised into level 3 aka 'wow', level 2, and level 1 colours—as well as recommending the ideal makeup tones for my complexion.
The session was immensely valuable - I now feel confident choosing colours that enhance my appearance but also reflect how I want to be perceived, both professionally and personally.
Thank you so much Jo! Antonia x

MY OWN JOURNEY
Have you lost your way, lack confidence and hate the way you look and feel?
I have been there too. I lost my way after having my daughter at 40. I was stripped of confidence. I hid behind baggy clothes, didn't go to the haidresser for two years, just tied my hair back in a pony. I didn't wear any makeup and felt life was over until I discovered colour analysis and personal style. It made me feel like me again and my husband said "I've got my wife back".
We don't always see ourselves in the way that other people see us. Wearing the wrong clothes made me look bigger, After my style session I restyled my hair and bought new clothes two sizes smaller and it made a huge difference. I started to receive compliments and everyone thought I had lost weight. I was the same. I just wore my clothes in a different way.
Take a look at my before and after photo. I rediscovered myself through both colour and style analysis. If you can relate to this, then you can feel confident, happy and good about yourself again too. It's an investment and you are worth it. It will change your life.

Janet put me at ease in her lovely natural light studio and clearly explained everything to me. As the process unfolded it quickly became clear I was a cool, then we found I was a summer. My WOW colours quickly confirmed I was a mid summer.
I would highly recommend Janet and furthermore, I would recommend other men to have their colours done. There’s a life beyond black and grey!

She patiently walked me through how the different shades of clothing interact with my features, making it easier to understand what works best for me.

View Testimonial(COLOUR) I was fortunate to win a colour consultation from an event at the White Stuff Liverpool shop. This was arranged with Janet from House of Colour. This was a 2 hour session where Janet explained all about the colour spectrum and proceeded to test different coloured fabrics against my natural skin tone and hair colour. It became apparent that I was Janet's first winter client. The consultation proceeded to look at makeup which would suit me and I got some great tips which I will apply when buying makeup in the future. Janet went through my ‘wow’ colours and ‘better than black’. Throughout the consultation Janet was friendly and made me feel at ease and I felt very spoilt. She was really informative and provided me with lots of information to take away. I would recommend a consultation with Janet. This session will definitely influence and inform my clothing and makeup choices in the future.

View Testimonial(STYLE) Thank you for my style consultation which I thoroughly enjoyed. It was so interesting to learn what styles and clothes suit my shape and personality. Not forgetting, of course, jewellery and make-up. Interestingly I have already saved myself some money because I had placed an order for some colourful clothes prior to my session and they arrived today. I was immediately able to check whether they fitted me on the shoulder. (That was my main learning point from my styling session - get the fit on the shoulder correct even if you don’t do up the jacket. It makes a HUGE difference.) So some of my order is going back and some is being kept. The other thing I took away from the session was about size and type of patterns. You were spot on. It is so helpful to have what appears to be so obvious (in retrospect of course!) pointed out and explained. I can’t recommend more strongly how important I now think a style consultation is after having my colours done. The two go hand in hand. You were most welcoming and immediately put me at ease - thank you so much for being prepared to go at my speed and also for giving me the opportunity to contact you again if I have any queries.

View Testimonial(COLOUR) Thoroughly enjoyed my colour analysis with Janet Jones. Janet made me feel so at ease and was so thorough with her analysis. Janet shared lots of insights into the colour wheel and how colour helps us to feel confident. I now have my very own swatch of colours and know which colours are my "wow" colours. I feel so much more confident putting outfits together and several people have already commented on the way I am dressing as I now consider which colours flatter me and make me look my best.
Thank you so much Janet."

View Testimonial(COLOUR & STYLE) House of Colour Consultation – A Game Changer!
I recently had a colour review and style session with House of Colour, and it was absolutely fascinating! Having had my colours done years ago, I wanted a refresher and also to explore what styles actually suit me, rather than just relying on colour alone.
The session was incredibly insightful and inspiring. It completely changed how I think about my wardrobe, and I’ve already transformed what I’m wearing. Not only do I feel more confident and put-together, but I also feel much better in myself.
One of the most surprising aspects was the makeup advice—I was shown exactly which shades suit me best, and the difference it has made is incredible. I feel like I now have a clear direction for both my clothing and overall look, making shopping and dressing so much easier.
If you’re considering a consultation, I can’t recommend it enough. It’s an investment in yourself that will make getting dressed every day so much more enjoyable!

View Testimonial(STYLE) What an amazing style session I had with Janet. The session covers so much, and I learnt how your personality strongly influences your clothes style. Now, it all makes sense, and I feel I can lean into my authentic clothes personality, knowing it is based on me personally.
Surprise of the day was learning about proportions and how they work and why clothes work for you and others don't.
Janet navigated me through the whole session all 5 hrs of it. In the end, I had a thorough understanding of my style and why it works for me.
I'm looking forward to tweaking my wardrobe to fit with my classic gamine style.

View Testimonial(STYLE) Had a lovely day with Janet.
Was really pleased and felt more confident with the advice she gave me simple things like adding a belt, tucking in tops and wearing necklaces. Janet was lovely too, so down to earth felt very at ease as I’m 63 don’t like showing myself off in underwear but felt comfortable didn’t feel judged with those extra pounds that suddenly appear after a few years. Came away feeling good about myself not felt like that for a very long time.

View Testimonial(COLOUR) I had such a delightful experience spending the morning with Janet for a ‘rerate’ session. Janet was so warm and friendly and gave me a great insight as to the different tones within my season.
My aim had been to find a few ‘wow’ colours and to buy a red lipstick. 11 amazing ‘wow’ colours and the special magic colour later left me floating. Ahem - 2 lipsticks, an eyeshadow and a beautiful necklace may have been purchased. Janet, I didn’t run away with my ‘wow’ colour swatch!
If you are thinking about a ‘rerate’ session- just do it.
It really is a gamechanger.
So easy to buy fabric now for my handmade wardrobe.
Going to gift this session to someone very special in my life.
Thank you.🌸✂️🌸

(Colour) I would highly recommend this. It was great to have Janet’s expertise in matching colours to suit me. Since my colour analysis I have picked bolder colours in winter palette and have had so many compliments which is a real confidence boost! I can concentrate on choosing clothes in my season colours and avoid buying clothes that don’t suit. Janet also focuses on make up , jewellery, hair colour and glasses so really ensuring that I can look and feel my best.
(Style) This is a great day and excellent value . Janet spends time and effort to really understand what lies behind your choices of clothes. It was really informative to learn that my choices were based on my personality and not necessarily my body shape and this meant I didn’t always buy the right clothes- the result was lots of unworn clothes still with their labels . Janet’s attention to analysing your body shape and her mantra that you must dress the body, together with respecting the importance of bringing your personality to individualise your look ensures you leave feeling confident in making the right choices going forward. It will certainly save money and I am already saving time by not looking at clothes in the wrong colour and style for me! Janet is also happy to be contacted for quick advice on any clothes whilst you gain the confidence with your new colour and style.

View Testimonial(Colour) I was treated to a House of Colour gift voucher for a special birthday. After a little research into colour advisors in my area I contacted Janet, her social media page really impressed! From the get go Janet has been incredible, quick to respond to messages and even catered for 6 of us in her studio.
The appointment itself was all I imagined and more, upon arrival Janet instantly put me at ease and the appointment began. Janet was fabulous at explaining how ‘colours’ work for me and I couldn’t believe the difference in shades and colours and how they could make my eyes pop and complexion lift. Janet also then did my make up and this was a game changer, just a tiny bit of makeup made such a difference!
I would just like to say a BIG thank you to Janet and I would highly recommend her. Thank you for a great day.

View Testimonial(Colour) After thirty years of having my initial colour consultation with House of Colour,I decided it was time to have a refresh,as a lot has changed since then.I'm a Spring and felt some of my colours were no longer working as well.
I booked in with Janet for a Colour retake.
From the outset Janet was really helpful with detailed directions for public transport.
It was straightforward to get to her office.
Janet was welcoming chatty and enthusiastic and her office is a lovely space full of colour and light.
My colour retake consultation was a fabulous experience,as Janet went through the Spring colour palette with me and was able to identify straightaway which colours were not performing as well now,but to my surprise others were.
I came away on a high and more confident to embrace my colours.
The quality of service and products of House of Colour is still of a high standard.
I would recommend the experience!
Have a great day!

View TestimonialColours: I've always known that some colours suited me better than others, but was absolutely amazed after attending my colours session with Janet Jones, House of Colour, at how big a difference wearing the right colours could make. Not only could I see for myself how much brighter and happier the right colours made me look externally, but the real surprise came in how I felt internally. I attended a networking event a few days later, wearing my colours and make-up and felt so much more confident. Result: several great connections made which I have since followed up! Thank you Janet.
Style: I knew that finding my colours at my colour session with Janet Jones, House of Colour, had increased my confidence levels significantly. The style session was the cherry on the cake! Understanding my body shape and styles with the added tips of how to make the most of them has been so helpful! Have started wearing the same clothes with different combinations and accessories and the improvement is phenomenal. I would strongly recommend Janet to others as her calm, inquisitive approach really does gather the information required to advise you appropriately and allow your image and personality to shine.

I’d had my colours done around 30 years ago but wanted a refresh to make sure I was still getting the most out of my colours. I was a Burnished Winter all those years ago but Janet discovered I am now a Burnished Sultry Winter - not a huge change but enough to warrant a couple of minor changes with my colour spectrum. Well worth having a session with Janet who was so informative and professional with a genuine passion for what she does.

- Get ready to rediscover who you are, reclaim your confidence, and celebrate your own individuality -
Everyone deserves a life filled with colour and the confidence to feel amazing every single day.
But let’s face it: sometimes, that feels easier said than done. The good news? With the right knowledge and tools, looking your best and feeling great can be your everyday reality.
- Have you lost yourself to a “mum wardrobe” - full of practicality, but lacking fun and personality?
- Does opening your wardrobe feel more stressful than inspiring?
- Are you stuck in a style rut, wearing just a fraction of your clothes?
- Do you find yourself chasing trends, but still feel like you’re “not quite getting it right”?
- Are you ready to unlock a new level of confidence?
Guess what? I’ve been there too – I can help you!
"Colour is a power which directly influences the soul." - Wassily Kandinsky
A Colour Analysis consultation is a unique service designed to discover a personalised colour palette that celebrates you exactly as you are.
Through a sophisticated process grounded in colour science, we will uncover together the colours that work in harmony with your natural colouring and give you an instant glow.
The knowledge and confidence gained during a Colour Analysis session can help you shine through all of life’s experiences – from elevating your professional wardrobe to feeling empowered in your everyday athleisure, and every special occasion in between.
It really will last you a lifetime.
“Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.” - Oscar Wilde
A Style Analysis consultation is a transformative session in which we explore clothing items that not just compliment your individual body architecture, but also your sparkling personality, to find your own unique clothing style.
It’s an in-depth service, tailored to you, your budget, and your lifestyle, that gives you the tools to accurately display how you want to be perceived by others, whilst staying true to yourself.
Whether you’re aiming to secure that promotion at work or rediscover who you are after a major life event, you will leave the studio feeling inspired, and full of knowledge and confidence ready to show the world your most authentic self.
My own journey to House of Colour really came to life after spending a year deep in postpartum life with my first child. As many new mums can attest, I had totally lost my sense of identity, barely left the house, and my confidence was through the floor.
I slowly realised that part of the barrier to me going out and reclaiming some independence was feeling like I had nothing to wear (other than oversized hoodies and maternity leggings that were, let’s face it, no longer suitable for this world).
And then one day, I had a moment of inspiration! I decided to go all in with a House of Colour style session, and it was honestly one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.
My consultant was able to see past that postpartum rut I was in and gave me the safe space I needed to see my actual self again. As with any of these things, the process is a journey, but this experience was the most powerful kickstart to my own personal transformation that never would have happened otherwise.

Colour Analysis
-
Transform getting dressed everyday into an effortless and joyful experience with our life-changing colour analysis.
Through precision-dyed drapes and my expert training, I provide you with invaluable insights of knowing your season; a palette of colours customised to your unique undertones. Our approach is inclusive, serving people of all ages, races, ethnicities, and genders, ensuring that your season remains a timeless guide throughout your life.
Experience the three essential components of our colour sessions:
First is our world-class, scientific draping process that we have refined for excellence and accuracy over the past four decades. Next, I will provide advice on jewellery, watches, glasses, and, when applicable, hair and makeup based on your season. Our makeup eliminates the guesswork, enhancing your natural beauty with colours perfectly suited to you. Finally, we’ll dive further into your season as we identify the best colours for both your casual and professional life, uncovering your collection of WOW colours.
You will leave your appointment equipped with a fan of your seasonal swatches and a tailored brochure filled with personalised tips and reminders specific to you, empowering you to confidently shop for and wear your new colours!
For optimal accuracy, arrive at your analysis without spray tans or makeup. Your privacy is paramount, so no photos will be taken or shared on social media without your consent.
Style Analysis
-
Discover the science and psychology behind personal style by unlocking the power of you. During a style analysis, I'll empower you to seamlessly combine your inner self with your outward appearance, so you can step out into the world radiating confidence as your authentic self.
We consider your proportions, personality, and preferences to give you a style framework - we call this a “Clothing Personality."
You will confidently know which fabrics, prints, patterns, accessories, necklines, details, and silhouettes flatter your unique body architecture best. By integrating your personality into this framework, our style analysis transcends mere fashion guidance, going a step further to help you identify how you feel in different styles and pieces, ensuring that your wardrobe not only reflects your style but also represents your individuality.
For this appointment, you’ll bring 5–10 items from your closet that you LOVE and 5–10 that make you wonder why you don’t feel good when putting them on. Together, we’ll use this information to help you discover why you gravitated toward and loved certain pieces and what it is about the others that weren’t working for you, saving you time and money in the future! At House of Colour, we believe clothing needs to be adjusted to you, not the other way around. It is our goal to make sure you feel your most confident as who you are and how you look right now.
You’ll leave with a book with detailed information specific to you that we’ll fill out during the appointment and a Clothing Personality card with keywords that will help guide you when shopping. If you’ve already had a colour analysis, this card can be inserted into your fan which will make shopping easy and efficient!

Bespoke Colour Analysis Consultation (In-Person)
A Colour Analysis session is designed entirely around you. Over the course of a relaxed two-hour session, we identify the colours that harmonise perfectly with your natural skin tone, hair, and features.
Using a science-based, proven colour analysis process with professional drapes, we uncover your most flattering colours, shades that enhance your complexion and colour combinations you may never have tried before.
You’ll discover hues that not only make you look radiant but also help you feel confident, vibrant, and aligned with who you are.
Personal Style Appointment – Dress with Confidence and Authenticity
A follow-on Style Appointment completes the picture. This session provides a clear, practical framework to help you understand and honour your body shape, learn how your personality and character influence your style and make clothing choices that feel authentic and empowering.
Rather than following trends, you’ll gain the confidence to dress in a way that truly reflects you.
After your Colour and Style Sessions, you will feel:
Comfortable in your clothing and appearance; confident presenting yourself to the world and you'll take your space with clarity, confidence and ease.
Guidance Through Life's Transitions
I am often called upon at moments of change or personal inflection: times when how you feel on the inside no longer matches how you look on the outside.
Clients seek my services during key stages such as:
After a relationship break-up; a return to work after children or illness; preparing for an important job interview or promotion; feeling lost during or after menopause; entering retirement and redefining personal identity.
At these moments, colour and style become powerful tools for clarity, confidence and self-expression.
Time spent with me is more than a consultation: it is a genuine act of self-care. You will find the space, support, and permission to pause, reflect, and find yourself again
House of Colour Make-Up – Personalised, High Quality & Easy to Use
The House of Colour make-up range is known for its excellent quality and accessible price point. Each product is designed to work seamlessly with your personal seasonal colour palette, making product selection simple and stress-free.

You can purchase make-up products during your session, and discounted bundles are available.
Wedding Colour Analysis & Bridal Styling
If you’re planning your wedding, I offer bespoke bridal colour analysis and personal styling to help you feel confident, radiant, and authentically yourself.
I can help you identify your best white or statement “wow” colour; confidently choose wedding dress silhouettes, fabrics and accessories; enhance your natural features with make-up tailored to your skin tone; coordinate your wedding colour palette to align with both you and your partner's seasonal colours.
This creates a wedding aesthetic that feels harmonious, timeless, and completely personal.

View TestimonialI was told about House of Colour by a friend of mine, so as a Christmas present to myself I booked a full day session. What I liked about the day was it helped me focus on those colours that suited me and confirmed why there were items of clothing I had that I was not sure of. This enabled me to sort out my wardrobe, reduce the number of clothes I have and simplify my outfits.
I even use the colour chart to choose nail varnish colours when I go for a manicure, which reduces the time I take choosing. I would definitely recommend to anyone, men and women.

View TestimonialI had such a great Colour Analysis and got so much out of it. Finding out I'm a Spring has completely changed the way I think about how I wear colour.
The Consultation covered everything from clothes to make-up, nail colours and jewellery and it all finally makes sense. It was really insightful, practical and genuinely fun.
I'd absolutely recommend this to anyone thinking about colour analysis - so worth it!

View TestimonialMy Colour & Style day with Jackie was a real treat: we spend so much time looking after everyone else that we forget about ourselves!
I've been covering up middle aged spread for several years and wearing rich, earthy autumn colours partly because I love them but also wanted to stand out now that I'm older.
Introducing the less saturated and cooler colours of summer was a revelation. I've always avoided these because I thought they washed me out but they make me look far less severe. Jackie showed me how they really light me up, especially with the help of a little bit of make-up.
The Styling advice really helped too. I now understand how to dress for my body shape and not wear tents which make me look a lot bigger than I am. It was also so interesting to engage with how my character impacts the way I dress.
I'm now having a really lovely time rebuilding my wardrobe.

View TestimonialI really enjoyed my Personal Shopping expedition with you this morning.
Our conversation/recap about my natural gamine clothing personality was really helpful and the idea that most of us are not just one personality type but have small influences from other clothing personalities was interesting too.
I’ve made a note of the observations you made and love my new shoes and bag. The shoes look great with my jeans.
Honestly, I am so happy to have booked the shopping trip with you. I feel like I’ve refreshed my wardrobe just buying the shoes and bag and have a much clearer idea of the shape and textures to look out for when looking at potential future clothes purchases.
Thank you so much Jackie.

View TestimonialJackie is so kind, calm and knowledgeable and I took loads of info away with me. Since then, I have found clothes shopping is a completely different experience. I have more confidence and feel much more willing to try new colours and patterns. It's also so much quicker because your eye skips over the wrong colours and seeks out those tones you know you will look best in. I have already had compliments on new outfits and lipstick colours. Gamechanger!

I have two studios, one in central Edinburgh and one near Moffat, just 10 minutes from the M74. Whether you prefer the buzz of city life or a peaceful retreat, both offer a relaxed, inspiring space for your personal styling experience.
Clothes are more than just the fabric we wear; they’re a powerful form of self-expression. What we wear reflects our personality, mood, and aspirations, shaping how we show up in the world with confidence and authenticity. Whether it’s a bold colour, a tailored suit, or a relaxed outfit, our wardrobe tells our story.
Suppose you’re stepping into a new role, re-entering the workforce, adjusting to retirement, or simply looking to rediscover your personal style. In that case, I’ll guide you in curating a wardrobe that reflects who you are and where you’re headed. From refining your professional image to helping you break out of a style rut, I’ll show you how to dress with confidence, avoid common mistakes, and save time and money in the process.
My services include:
- Colour Analysis: Discover the shades that enhance your natural features.
- Makeup Guidance: Learn how to complement your style with the right makeup choices.
- Personal Styling: Create outfits that align with your lifestyle, goals, and personality.
- Personal Shopping: Find the perfect pieces without the stress of endless searching.
With a background in management, I understand the power of personal image in making an impact, professionally and socially. Whether you’re a busy executive, an entrepreneur, or someone seeking a fresh start, I’ll help you create a look that aligns with your goals and lifestyle.
For those who prefer a virtual experience, my Virtual Personal Style Sessions (for both men and women) offer expert styling guidance from the comfort of your own home. We’ll meet over Zoom in two to three-hour sessions, scheduled to suit you.
If you’d like to learn more about my services, book an appointment, or have a question, feel free to get in touch. You can call me at 07780 955865 or email me at moira.cox@houseofcolour.com.

Colour Analysis | Personal Style | Makeup | Look and feel your authentic self | Science and psychology-based approach
Find your colours, unlock your style, feel refreshed and boost your confidence
Everyone deserves to feel confident and present the best version of themselves, whether at work, at home, or at a special event. The challenge is knowing what truly suits you across every role you play.
With endless trends and conflicting advice, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed or second-guess your choices. That uncertainty can affect not only how you dress, but how you show up in the world. Finding clarity shouldn’t feel frustrating. Enter House of Colour.
My approach is grounded in colour science and fashion psychology, offering clear, personalised guidance and answers to the questions you might have had for years. Remove the guesswork; allow choosing clothes to become enjoyable; free your energy for what matters most.
I believe your wardrobe should make you feel uplifted and empowered. My role is to create clarity - confidence then comes naturally.
Why Colour Analysis Changes Everything
Imagine opening your wardrobe and loving what you see, when every colour makes you look fresher, brighter, and just you! That’s the power of colour analysis.
Through an expert-led experience, we identify the shades that harmonise with your skin tone, enhance your natural complexion, bring focus to the right places and make your appearance more balanced, healthy and intentional.
It's not about rules or limiting your choices. It's about understanding which colours suit you and why, so you can make decisions with confidence.
When you wear colours that work for you and not against you, clothing choices are easier and shopping is more satisfying. You look and feel authentic, assured, and completely yourself. That’s where real transformation begins.
Why Knowing Your Style Changes Everything
Style Analysis is about understanding your own body, personality, and tools to help express yourself consistently across all the different situations in your life. It’s not about looking the same as everyone else based on whatever happens to be trending at the time. The most attractive look will always be your truest look.
Knowing your style profile means shopping becomes more direct and self-doubt fades. You’ll recognise why some outfits feel like home while others don’t, and understand the reasons behind it all. That means you never have to have that feeling again when you're standing in front of a mirror in a dressing room and you feel stuck because nothing you try on seems to work.
This goes beyond a personal style session. We don't only look at your unique body geometrics, we look at character elements too. It's both these together that inform the bespoke advice given about the cuts, shapes, combinations, necklines, accessories, patterns and fabrics that bring out the best for you.
I'd love to work with you
One of the reasons I love my job is because of the individuals I get to work with. You are unique, and that means it's never the same experience twice which makes it so fun for me too!
From me you can expect loads of encouragement and support, and it's my goal that you have an amazing experience every single step of the way. Being a House of Colour client myself many years ago was a game-changer, and my passion now is to help others with that journey.
Booking your session is simple. CLICK HERE to explore the range of services I offer and choose a time that works for you. Once you've secured your spot, you’ll receive a confirmation email with more details and I'll be in touch personally prior to the date.

A welcoming space for transformation and discovery
My studio is designed to be a warm, welcoming retreat — a place where you can feel at ease from the moment you arrive. With beautiful natural light and a calm, inviting atmosphere, it’s a space where you can relax, breathe, and simply be yourself.
Here, you’ll be met with kindness, encouragement, and no judgment — just genuine support. Whether you're here for a Colour Analysis, Style Analysis, Makeup Workshop or something else, this is your time to feel seen, heard, and understood.
Every session is a chance to learn, to grow, and to reconnect with your natural beauty and confidence. Clients often leave not just looking different, but feeling transformed — with new insights, fresh inspiration, and a renewed sense of self.
It’s more than just an appointment — it’s an experience designed to nurture and empower you, every step of the way.
Taking My Work Beyond the Studio
While my studio is at the heart of what I do, I also love stepping out into the community to be part of inspiring collaborations and events. One recent highlight was co-hosting a sold-out evening at a local hair salon, where I partnered with a salon owner and mindset coach to raise money for Chestnut Tree House, a children’s hospice here in Sussex. With 40 attendees, £190 raised, and a waiting list for the next event, the evening was a huge success. The “Look Good, Feel Good Hacks” theme really resonated with guests, and the feedback was overwhelmingly positive. People left feeling uplifted, inspired, and reconnected with themselves.
It’s events like these that not only raise vital funds but also help build relationships and strengthen community ties beyond the studio walls.
Creating Experiences You'll Love
I am available for events, talks, webinars, and parties. I can come into your workplace and provide great staff building experiences that also make your staff team look and feel refreshed and radiant! I can help you create a stunning and harmonious wedding look that will make you and your bridal party shine as brightly as you deserve!

Colour Analysis
-
Transform getting dressed everyday into an effortless and joyful experience with our life-changing colour analysis.
Through precision-dyed drapes and my expert training, I provide you with invaluable insights of knowing your season; a palette of colours customised to your unique undertones. Our approach is inclusive, serving people of all ages, races, ethnicities, and genders, ensuring that your season remains a timeless guide throughout your life.
Experience the three essential components of our colour sessions:
First is our world-class, scientific draping process that we have refined for excellence and accuracy over the past four decades. Next, I will provide advice on jewellery, watches, glasses, and, when applicable, hair and makeup based on your season. Our makeup eliminates the guesswork, enhancing your natural beauty with colours perfectly suited to you. Finally, we’ll dive further into your season as we identify the best colours for both your casual and professional life, uncovering your collection of WOW colours.
You will leave your appointment equipped with a fan of your seasonal swatches and a tailored brochure filled with personalised tips and reminders specific to you, empowering you to confidently shop for and wear your new colours!
For optimal accuracy, arrive at your analysis without spray tans or makeup. Your privacy is paramount, so no photos will be taken or shared on social media without your consent.
As a client you'll also receive exclusive access to the House of Colour portal “MyHOCLookBook”, which contains inspiration boards and links for clothing items in your colours, plus organised images of clothing from your own wardrobe should you wish to utilise this feature.
Children's Colour Analysis also available - please ask for more details.
Refreshments included.

Style Analysis
-
Discover the science and psychology behind personal style by unlocking the power of you. During a style analysis, I'll empower you to seamlessly combine your inner self with your outward appearance, so you can step out into the world radiating confidence as your authentic self.
We consider your proportions, personality, and preferences to give you a style framework - we call this a “Clothing Personality."
You will confidently know which fabrics, prints, patterns, accessories, necklines, details, and silhouettes flatter your unique body architecture best. By integrating your personality into this framework, our style analysis transcends mere fashion guidance, going a step further to help you identify how you feel in different styles and pieces, ensuring that your wardrobe not only reflects your style but also represents your individuality.
For this appointment, you’ll bring 5–10 items from your closet that you LOVE and 5–10 that make you wonder why you don’t feel good when putting them on. Together, we’ll use this information to help you discover why you gravitated toward and loved certain pieces and what it is about the others that weren’t working for you, saving you time and money in the future! At House of Colour, we believe clothing needs to be adjusted to you, not the other way around. It is our goal to make sure you feel your most confident as who you are and how you look right now.
You’ll leave with a book with detailed information specific to you that we’ll fill out during the appointment and a Clothing Personality card with keywords that will help guide you when shopping. If you’ve already had a colour analysis, this card can be inserted into your fan which will make shopping easy and efficient!
As a client you'll also receive exclusive access to the House of Colour portal “MyHOCLookBook”, which contains inspiration boards and links for clothing items in your style, plus organised images of clothing from your own wardrobe should you wish to utilise this feature.
Refreshments included.
1:1 £375/Group £340 each - 5-6 hours (Saturday session - additional £20 per person)
Wardrobe Edit
-
This appointment is designed to apply all the knowledge you gained in your colour and/or style analysis and appointment and apply it to your own wardrobe. Together, we'll filter through the pieces you don’t wear so you can donate or resell them, keeping your closet free from clutter so you can better mix and match pieces in your wardrobe to create more looks with fewer items.
This process liberates your closet from clutter, empowering you to effortlessly mix and match pieces to unlock endless styling possibilities with fewer items.
During this in-home or virtual session, I will guide you through your existing wardrobe, helping you identify what works, what doesn’t, and what’s missing. It’s more than just decluttering; it’s about discovering your personal style and building a wardrobe that reflects who you are and how you live.
This service is all about you feeling seen, supported, and confident. I will offer expert advice, outfit suggestions, and tips for filling in the gaps. By the end of the session, you’ll have a clearer sense of direction and a solid foundation to build on as your style evolves. There is also a workbook which we will go through together and you'll be able to keep containing all those handy tips, learning and bespoke advice from your session.
Clients love this step, not just for the clarity it brings, but for the transformation it inspires.
This session is expected to last 2 hours.

View TestimonialMichaela is warm and friendly and immediately made me feel at ease. I had the colour analysis and we went through colours and how to wear them, my “wow” colours, hair colours, makeup and more. The session felt very tailored to me. Since the session I have felt more confident and focussed on selecting colours that suit me and that harmonise together. I highly recommend Michaela.

View TestimonialI had the most wonderful experience with Michaela during my recent colour and style session. From the moment I arrived, she created such a warm, welcoming, and professional atmosphere that immediately put me at ease. Her expertise in colour analysis and style guidance is outstanding, and she has a gift for explaining complex ideas in a way that feels both clear and inspiring.
Discovering that I am a Summer, with the Mid Pastel Summer subseason, was truly transformative. Seeing those colours come alive on me was a revelation—Michaela’s eye for detail and her ability to show how subtle shifts in tone can completely change the way you look and feel is remarkable. She guided me through the process with patience and enthusiasm, and I left feeling confident, radiant, and excited to embrace my palette.
The resources Michaela provides are exceptional. My personalised ratings book and swatch fan are already proving invaluable, and the LookBook she created is beautifully curated with linked catalogues, wardrobe ideas, and even makeup recommendations. It’s clear how much thought and care she puts into tailoring everything to each client. Having live links and ongoing updates makes it practical and easy to integrate into everyday life, while also feeling like a treasure trove of inspiration.
What impressed me most was Michaela’s genuine passion for helping her clients shine. She doesn’t just hand you tools—she empowers you to use them with confidence. Her recommendations for makeup and wardrobe pieces were thoughtful and perfectly aligned with my style journey. I particularly appreciated her encouragement to explore and play with my colours, and her openness to supporting me further with personal shopping or wardrobe edits.
Beyond her technical expertise, Michaela brings warmth, joy, and encouragement to the process. She celebrates each discovery with you and makes the whole experience feel uplifting and affirming. I left the studio not only with knowledge and resources but also with a renewed sense of joy in expressing myself through colour and style.
I wholeheartedly recommend Michaela to anyone considering a colour and style consultation. Her professionalism, creativity, and genuine care for her clients make her an exceptional guide. If you are looking to discover your palette, refine your style, or simply reconnect with the joy of dressing in harmony with who you are, Michaela is the person to see. This journey has already been transformative for me, and I am so grateful for her guidance.

View TestimonialI first discovered The House of Colour through Michaela. I remember going to her beautiful studio to take photographs of her work and over the course of those very first 15 minutes, I was 100% won over! I found the whole concept making so much sense and in my heart, I started dreaming about getting a colour analysis done for myself. I started wondering if I had worn all the wrong colours most of my life! I had worn so much black - my husband James calls me a ninja! I soon had my colour analysis done and it was the most incredible experience! One that connected the dots! ALL my life I had worn Winter colours!!! No wonder I looked so drained when I looked in the mirror .. I am now in the process of adjusting my entire wardrobe and embracing those gorgeous autumn muted tones - so many of those beautiful colours that I had stayed away from thinking they wouldn’t suit my skin tone! It truly was a liberating experience from removing your makeup to seeing the analysis happen and embracing the vulnerable you in that safe space. I cannot recommend Michaela enough. She’s so gentle, kind, beautiful, caring, creative and so good at what she does! Everyone should gift themselves this gift!

View TestimonialI had such a brilliant time with Michaela doing my colour analysis. Michaela was really helpful and talked through the process so that I understood how it worked and what she was looking for. It was a really interesting process to determine my colour season. Once we determined my colour season it was fascinating seeing some of my favourite colours but also a few which really surprised me. It was great to try the House of Colour make-up range too and to try some lipsticks which I never would have had the courage to try before. It’s definitely given me a new sense of adventure and a confidence to try something new, now that I know what colours compliment me and work well together within my colour season. Michaela gave me lots of really helpful tools and tips and I had such a fun time with her.

She spent time finding my perfect makeup and then my wow colours. The studio was light and airy, she provided drinks and biscuits and made me feel really welcome. Just a lovely person! I went away with lots of information, my colour swatches and personalised ratings. I would recommend the experience to anyone. Thanks Michaela!

Not only is Michaela super knowledgable, but brilliant company too. Would recommend.

View TestimonialMichaela very quickly made me feel totally at home and comfortable, which is important if somebody you have only just met is going to be in your personal space for several hours. She is personable, very easy to chat with and talks you through the process as she is trying the different colours. Michaela isn't afraid to say if she is getting mixed messages with the colours and needs to try a slightly different approach. The time went very quickly, which is always a good sign, and I came away with lots of really useful information about which specific colours and jewellery colour I should wear if I am trying to look my best. A really pleasant and useful session.

It was a lot to do in one day but as a refresh doing both together worked well.

I would wholeheartedly recommend a visit to Michaela to anyone interested in exploring this life enhancing experience.

View TestimonialI had such a wonderful time at my colour analysis session. I arrived to find a beautiful studio with snacks & an offer of a drink as soon as I arrived. Michaela took the time to find out more about me and what I hoped to discover. It was then explained exactly how the session would work. I went with an idea of what season I was and I was totally wrong. Michaela explained and showed me why Summer was my season and I could really see it. It was eye opening and fascinating. We then spent some time looking at and trying on make up to suit my season - the lipsticks were a particular highlight as I never wear lipstick and the difference the right shade makes is unreal. The colour fan is so helpful when choosing new clothes & I’ve really enjoyed wearing colours I would never usually choose. Michaela’s love for what she does shone through and I left feeling amazing. Thank you so much, it was a wonderful few hours xxx

View TestimonialI was absolutely delighted with the sensitivity, professionalism and enthusiasm Michaela showed in helping draw out how I can use a tweaked range of my Spring colours to make the best of me as I am now. There was no sales pressure either, just an honest explanation of the costs of her services and the Makeup options. I left the session feeling it had been time very well spent indeed and far more confident in making the best of my refreshed colour knowledge for this new season of life I am in. I hope to return to discuss a style refresh with her in the months ahead to help me make a 'good change' in my wardrobe as I adapt my choices in the future to better suit a very busy retired life rather than a very busy professional one.

View TestimonialGot given a Colour Session as a Christmas present and what a fantastic gift it was. I didn’t know much about how colours can change your entire appearance (and how you feel) but Michaela transformed how I look at my wardrobe in just a few hours!
She shared so much interesting wisdom about colours, our attractions to them and how we all feel about them, before showing me my colours. Wow. What a difference it made!
Her enthusiasm and passion was clear and she made me feel very at home. I’d say what she does is akin to magic - bringing your features to life in a way that I did not realise clothes could do.
I’d highly recommend Michaela to anyone looking to find the spark of magic in their wardrobe and style!

Welcome to House of Colour Lichfield and Sutton Coldfield. Why don't you check my 5* Google Reviews
Find your colours, understand your style, feel like YOU and boost your confidence
Everyone deserves to look great and feel confident. But it’s not always that easy! To do that, you need to know what suits you best for every occasion, for the various roles you have in your life and the different environments you are in. The problem is, it's difficult to know which voices to trust, and that can leave you feeling confused. Working out where to start can be really frustrating. Allow me to help.
At House of Colour we dedicate ourselves to blending colour science and fashion psychology, empowering you to embrace styling with ease. I believe achieving a wardrobe that boosts your confidence should be straightforward, and fun! It's my commitment to turn confusion to clarity, and insecurity to self-assuredness.
Why Colour Analysis Changes Everything
Imagine opening your wardrobe and loving everything inside — because every colour makes you look fresh, bright, and confident.
That’s what colour analysis does.
Together, we’ll discover the shades that harmonise best with your natural skin tone — the ones that flatter your skin, your eyes, your hair, and most importantly, feel like you.
No more standing at makeup counters feeling overwhelmed. No more buying clothes that sit unworn because they just don’t feel quite right. You’ll know exactly what suits you...and why!
Colour analysis isn’t about changing who you are — it’s about making sure the outside reflects the beauty that’s already there. It makes getting dressed easier, shopping simpler, and at the very least it makes you feel amazing every day.
When you wear the colours that truly belong to you, you don’t just look good — you feel like your best self. And that’s where the real magic happens.
Why Knowing Your Style Changes Everything
Style analysis is all about helping you discover the cuts, shapes, fabrics, and outfit combinations that truly bring out the best in you.
It's not about trends or copying someone else's look — it's about understanding your natural lines, your personality, and making you feel empowered.
When you know your style profile, shopping becomes easier, getting dressed becomes faster, and you stop second-guessing yourself in the mirror. You’ll understand why certain outfits feel like "home" and others just don't — and you’ll have a clear, confident way to express who you are through what you wear.
The goal isn’t to change you. It's to take the person on the inside and help you express that in the most authentic way on the outside, reflecting the incredible person you already are.
When you know your style, you don’t just look good — you feel like yourself. And great things come from that!

Discover your own unique style so you can look and feel your best every day!
My home from home studio is designed to be a warm, welcoming retreat — a place where you can feel at ease from the moment you arrive. With panoramic views, beautiful natural light and a calm, inviting atmosphere, it’s a space where you can relax, breathe, and simply be yourself.
Here, you’ll be met with kindness, encouragement, and no judgment — just genuine support. Whether you're here for a Colour Analysis, Style Analysis, Makeup Workshop or something else, this is your time to feel seen, heard, and understood.
Every session is a chance to learn, to grow, and to reconnect with your natural beauty and confidence. Clients often leave not just looking different, but feeling transformed — with new insights, fresh inspiration, and a renewed sense of self.
It’s more than just an appointment — it’s an experience designed to nurture and empower you, every step of the way.
I want to help you to look and feel amazing; to leave my studio having had a wonderful experience, empowered to dress confidently, feeling inspired and able to wear your seasonal colours in a sustainable way.
If you build your own wardrobe around your seasonal colours, you will naturally create a capsule wardrobe where all of your items will mix and match together, reducing time and money spent on buying clothes that you put on and then take off again because they don’t make you feel good.
House of Colour has been offering the very best personal Colour and Style analysis since the mid-1980s so for me, it was a no-brainer choosing who to work with.
Once you understand the science behind why your seasonal colours work for your skin tone, you will find looking for new items for your wardrobe and choosing an outfit each day so much easier. I can also advise you on hair colour to compliment your skin and make you look and feel fantastic!
Can you relate to any of the following?
- I have a wardrobe full of clothes, but nothing to wear.
- I struggle to create outfits, so I wear the same things over and over again.
- I’m not sure how to wear colour; I just wear black because it’s slimming.
- I feel like I've lost my identity or become invisible.
- I’m on a weight loss journey and want to feel good.
- I have a new job and I want to impress.
- Menopause has kicked in – help!
- I would like to refresh my image.
- I don't know where to start when it comes to clothes and make-up.
Are you ready to learn how to look and feel your best every day? Most importantly, let me help you to rediscover and show the world who you really are!
Just drop me a line or give me a call and we will find a suitable time to let the magic begin!
I look forward to meeting you, Sophie x

Colour Analysis
-
Transform getting dressed everyday into an effortless and joyful experience with our life-changing colour analysis.
Through precision-dyed drapes and my expert training, I provide you with invaluable insights of knowing your season; a palette of colours customised to your unique undertones. Our approach is inclusive, serving people of all ages, races, ethnicities, and genders, ensuring that your season remains a timeless guide throughout your life.
Experience the three essential components of our colour sessions:
First is our world-class, scientific draping process that we have refined for excellence and accuracy over the past four decades. Next, I will provide advice on jewellery, watches, glasses, and, when applicable, hair and makeup based on your season. Our makeup eliminates the guesswork, enhancing your natural beauty with colours perfectly suited to you. Finally, we’ll dive further into your season as we identify the best colours for both your casual and professional life, uncovering your collection of WOW colours.
You will leave your appointment equipped with a fan of your seasonal swatches and a tailored brochure filled with personalised tips and reminders specific to you, empowering you to confidently shop for and wear your new colours!
For optimal accuracy, arrive at your analysis without spray tans or makeup. Your privacy is paramount, so no photos will be taken or shared on social media without your consent.
Colour Analysis 1:1 £280 / Group Colour Analysis £230pp
Colour re-rate £130
If you have had your colours done before, we suggest a re rate every 5 to 7 years where we will again go through every colour in your palette and rediscover your WOW colours.
Childrens / Teenagers Colour Analysis £120
This is a shorter version of the full colour analysis, we will discover your season and advise you what colours to wear. This includes a booklet, but not a fan. This can be purchased separately.

Style Analysis
-
Discover the science and psychology behind personal style by unlocking the power of you. During a style analysis, I'll empower you to seamlessly combine your inner self with your outward appearance, so you can step out into the world radiating confidence as your authentic self.
We consider your proportions, personality, and preferences to give you a style framework - we call this a “Clothing Personality."
You will confidently know which fabrics, prints, patterns, accessories, necklines, details, and silhouettes flatter your unique body architecture best. By integrating your personality into this framework, our style analysis transcends mere fashion guidance, going a step further to help you identify how you feel in different styles and pieces, ensuring that your wardrobe not only reflects your style but also represents your individuality.
For this appointment, you’ll bring 5–10 items from your closet that you LOVE and 5–10 that make you wonder why you don’t feel good when putting them on. Together, we’ll use this information to help you discover why you gravitated toward and loved certain pieces and what it is about the others that weren’t working for you, saving you time and money in the future! At House of Colour, we believe clothing needs to be adjusted to you, not the other way around. It is our goal to make sure you feel your most confident as who you are and how you look right now.
You’ll leave with a book with detailed information specific to you that we’ll fill out during the appointment and a Clothing Personality card with keywords that will help guide you when shopping. If you’ve already had a colour analysis, this card can be inserted into your fan which will make shopping easy and efficient!

You’ll also unlock the full potential of MyHOCLookBook as we guide you through organizing your wardrobe, identifying styling gaps, and igniting inspiration to experiment with new pieces.
I can also offer Advanced Style giving you a deeper understanding of what works best for you.
Wardrobe Edit
-
This appointment is designed to apply all the knowledge you gained in your colour and/or style analysis and appointment and apply it to your own wardrobe. Together, we'll filter through the pieces you don’t wear so you can donate or resell them, keeping your closet free from clutter so you can better mix and match pieces in your wardrobe to create more looks with fewer items.
This process liberates your closet from clutter, empowering you to effortlessly mix and match pieces to unlock endless styling possibilities with fewer items.
Personal shopping is also available individually or as a group
Personal shopping can be for a specific event, a holiday or to fill any gaps identified after a wardrobe edit. These are charged on an hourly rate and can be anywhere local.

View TestimonialIt's been a great experience working with Sophie. I'd highly recommend anybody who has found themselves stuck in a style cul-de-sac, to get in touch with Sophie at HoC. The session is all about finding your style based on your personality, this isn't about someone trying to tell you how to dress based on what they like - it is very much about you and nurturing that look. I really enjoyed it and as well as identifying my style type it also opened my eyes to what I was hiding behind, following trends that just don't suit me at all and having the confidence to shop in my already well established wardrobe.

I now have a good excuse to revamp my wardrobe - shopping made easier and much more fun with my new colour orientation. Thank you so much! P.s. Loving my new lipsticks and duo powder too!

View TestimonialIf I could leave 6 stars, I would! We recently had the absolute pleasure of welcoming Sophie from House of Colour to our workspace at x+why on Colmore Row in Birmingham, and I can confidently say it was one of the best events we've ever hosted. Sophie ran a 3-hour colour analysis session for our members, and I have never received so much glowing feedback. Every single attendee raved about how insightful, personal, and enjoyable their one-to-one session was. Sophie has a real gift for making people feel seen and confident, and it truly showed in how uplifted everyone felt afterwards. Without exception, every participant told me they would happily book in for a full-day session with her. A huge thank you to Sophie for such an incredible experience – we’d absolutely love to have her back again!

Learn how to dress with confidence, be yourself and feel happy in your own skin
I am a professional stylist working in the beautiful part of the UK that encompasses Ludlow, Tenbury Wells, Shrewsbury, North Herefordshire, Hay on Wye and the Welsh Borders. Looking great, and feeling confident is for everyone, not just the rich and famous. We all need to have a wardrobe that suits our lifestyle, whatever that maybe.
I am the wife of a farmer, the mother of 2 lively boys and owner of 8 unpredictable chickens. When I moved from being a civil servant in London to the rural Herefordshire in 2011 I slowly lost a sense of my own identity. I have found my way back now by learning that if you look good you feel good. Being seen and heard and valued is empowering. And also incredible fun.
Read my blog to find out how I made the move from Westminster to Farm to Stylist!
How does it work/ What do I actual do to help?
I offer various options to get you looking and feeling your best as soon as possible.
If you book a colour analysis you will leave the class armed with the knowledge of what palette of colours suit you best. Have you heard of people 'having their colours done'? This is it. We find the colours that make you look the youngest, healthiest and well rested. The colours that brighten your complexion, and bring you into focus. We will also find the most natural makeup that enhances your features, rather than hides them. This class must take place during daylight hours, we need the natural light to determine your best colours. Online apps cannot accurately assess you. You take home a beautiful fan of swatches to help you assess colours for yourself at home or in the shops.
So now you know what colours suits you what happens next? I can help you develop your own personal style with a class designed to work out which styles suit your own body architecture, your unique personality and life style . This is not a make over. Beware, this class can be quite life changing. Armed with the knowledge with what suits you, what styles to go for and what to avoid, makes getting dressed a joy day to day. This class can take place in person or online.
If all this new knowledge seems daunting then don't fear. I am here to help you go through your existing wardrobe with a professional eye, helping you see what you already have the works for you and how to put new outfits together in a bespoke wardrobe review service.
And if you need a further helping hand I can help with shopping, to find you the perfect outfits for day to day life and special occasions. We can either hit the shops together or do it online.
Why would I need to work with a personal stylist? Read through the questions below, I am sure some will resonate. I am here to help you find the answers.
Do you have wardrobes bursting with clothes but feel you have nothing to wear?
Do you admire colours and outfits on others but can’t make them work for you?
Do you have lots of separates but can’t get them to work as an outfit?
Do you love shopping, but come home with items that are rarely or never worn and then suffer from buyers remorse?
Do you hate shopping, feel overwhelmed by choice, or feel there is nothing out there for you?
Do you feel you can dress well for work but find it hard to dress casually?
Are you going through a transitional phase in life and feel your wardrobe needs to change with you? This could be as a result of a new work role, or moving out of work into retirement or a change in relationship status or becoming a parent.
Are you uncomfortable with fast fashion and want a be to be more sustainable? Want to spend less, store less and shop less?
During a colour and a style class we will find out the best colours and style that are unique to you.
Don’t wait until you have lost that bit of weight or feel you are too young or too old to ask for help with your style.
Colour and style classes are for everyone
A little about me
In my mid 30’s I gave up my job in Westminster to move with my husband to his family farm in Herefordshire. I was no longer the girl commuting into Central London. No going out for drinks after work with colleagues and enjoying weekend mini breaks in European cities. I was now the wife of a farmer, and mother of two small boys, living in the countryside, goodbye street lights, hello rolling hills. Although I have no regrets, it was a steep learning curve, and along the way I definitely lost a sense of myself.
Clothes needed to be practical and comfortable. Now in my forties, I thought I should be dressing my age but I felt frumpy, and boring, barely bothered with make-up, but who was looking at me anyway.
An occasional big event or night out was preceded by a panicky emptying of the wardrobe, much trying on and a massive pile on the bed to hang back up, my energy and confidence depleted.
I attended a Colour Analysis class in 2019 as a treat, a rare day out with an old friend. But the outcome proved to be momentous. As I was draped my in my best colours at the end of the day, and was wearing a little natural looking makeup to enhance, not hide my features, I finally saw the old me looking back at me in the mirror, and I hadn’t even realised she had gone. I haven’t looked back since.
My studio is the place where the magic happens
Classes take place at my studio, in my farm house in the beautiful Herefordshire countryside. Where people light up when surrounded by the their most flattering colours, try the best make up shades and learn to love their own unique clothing personalities.
Classes can be one to one, or in small groups

Colour Analysis
-
Transform getting dressed everyday into an effortless and joyful experience with our life-changing colour analysis.
Through precision-dyed drapes and my expert training, I provide you with invaluable insights of knowing your season; a palette of colours customised to your unique undertones. Our approach is inclusive, serving people of all ages, races, ethnicities, and genders, ensuring that your season remains a timeless guide throughout your life.
Experience the three essential components of our colour sessions:
First is our world-class, scientific draping process that we have refined for excellence and accuracy over the past four decades. Next, I will provide advice on jewellery, watches, glasses, and, when applicable, hair and makeup based on your season. Our makeup eliminates the guesswork, enhancing your natural beauty with colours perfectly suited to you. Finally, we’ll dive further into your season as we identify the best colours for both your casual and professional life, uncovering your collection of WOW colours.
You will leave your appointment equipped with a fan of your seasonal swatches and a tailored brochure filled with personalised tips and reminders specific to you, empowering you to confidently shop for and wear your new colours!
For optimal accuracy, arrive at your analysis without spray tans or makeup. Your privacy is paramount, so no photos will be taken or shared on social media without your consent.
You'll wonder how you ever shopped before having this new knowlege
Style Analysis
-
Discover the science and psychology behind personal style by unlocking the power of you. During a style analysis, I'll empower you to seamlessly combine your inner self with your outward appearance, so you can step out into the world radiating confidence as your authentic self.
We consider your proportions, personality, and preferences to give you a style framework - we call this a “Clothing Personality."
You will confidently know which fabrics, prints, patterns, accessories, necklines, details, and silhouettes flatter your unique body architecture best. By integrating your personality into this framework, our style analysis transcends mere fashion guidance, going a step further to help you identify how you feel in different styles and pieces, ensuring that your wardrobe not only reflects your style but also represents your individuality.
For this appointment, you’ll bring 5–10 items from your closet that you LOVE and 5–10 that make you wonder why you don’t feel good when putting them on. Together, we’ll use this information to help you discover why you gravitated toward and loved certain pieces and what it is about the others that weren’t working for you, saving you time and money in the future! At House of Colour, we believe clothing needs to be adjusted to you, not the other way around. It is our goal to make sure you feel your most confident as who you are and how you look right now.
You’ll leave with a book with detailed information specific to you that we’ll fill out during the appointment and a Clothing Personality card with keywords that will help guide you when shopping. If you’ve already had a colour analysis, this card can be inserted into your fan which will make shopping easy and efficient!
This knowlege will last a lifetime
Wardrobe Edit
-
This appointment is designed to apply all the knowledge you gained in your colour and/or style analysis and appointment and apply it to your own wardrobe. Together, we'll filter through the pieces you don’t wear so you can donate or resell them, keeping your closet free from clutter so you can better mix and match pieces in your wardrobe to create more looks with fewer items.
This process liberates your closet from clutter, empowering you to effortlessly mix and match pieces to unlock endless styling possibilities with fewer items.
Personal Shopping
-
My House of Colour personal shopping service will make finding new clothing, shoes, jewellery and accessories hassle-free. As your personal stylist, I will be offering you my time, via this service, as your very own personal shopper. You can personalise how I use this time so that it is completely tailored to your objectives and desires.
Whether you are looking for the perfect outfit for a special event, refreshing your wardrobe for the latest season, or just want expert guidance on how to continue looking your best, my personal shopping services are shaped around you and your goals.
There are a number of ways for you to personalise our House of Colour personal shopping service, for example:
- We can shop together in person
- I can conduct online personal shopping for you, buying items that I know work with your unique features, characteristics and personality
- I can undertake online personal shopping for you, saving items I believe would illuminate you and you can browse and buy at your own pace later.
Let me help you get to clothes you love faster, easier and with my expert guidance, so you can wear what fits, what flatters, and what feels like you with ease.

View TestimonialWOW – what a difference a day can make!
I confess, being someone who lived in jeans and never wore make up, I was sceptical about the idea. However, knowing how much fun any time with Elise is and being intrigued by what had got her so excited and enthusiastic, a date was set.
Not only does Elise make you feel at ease straight away, she also feeds you marvellous cake and gives many titbits of advice all the way through the session. Through from explaining the colour wheel, discovering colours (I love those scarves) to looking a makeup, Elise made me feel confident to try colours I wouldn’t have dreamt of wearing before. Those WOW colours really do stand out and gave a much more emotional response than I expected!
I am truly amazed at how much confidence the process gave me, not only to wear a little make up in public, but also permission to recycle many old clothes that drained colour from me. Thank you so much Elise for a truly enlightening time, I now understand why you are so passionate about your new business. I am really looking forward to part two and continuing to add to the new brighter spring wardrobe!

View TestimonialHaving my colours done by Elise has made a huge difference to me. I now dress with confidence, selecting combinations I'd never have made before, but which I now know look great! I've revamped my wardrobe, changed my hair colour and altered my make up...I not only feel better about myself, but everyone else has noticed too and I've had lots of compliments. Elise said she'd help me to find my best me, and this is exactly what she did. I'd recommend her consultation to anyone who wants a little help finding their way in a world where fast fashion often misguides you - telling anyone that they can wear the season's must haves! If they don't look great we tend to think it's us getting old, but actually it's just about not knowing what works well for us! This is a great investment in yourself and actually means you buy less and throw away less! Definitely worth it! A thoroughly enjoyable experience, not only on the day but the pleasure endures for long after...Thank you

View TestimonialSometimes you reach out for help at the cross-roads of life, and Elise was there for me at one of those. Ill health has changed my life, but Elise's gentle encouragement has re-directed me and re-invigorated me. She looked acutely - but not judgmentally - at me and has nudged me onto a new path . I was able to be 100% honest with her. Clearing out items and thoughts which no longer serve me has liberated me and given me a huge confidence boost.
I am in love with my colour palette again and I have the mantra of my style "type" in my tool box. I no longer look wistfully at fashion as I can quickly dismiss colours and style as "not mine", which is even more helpful when you are looking for larger sizes and you have limited options. This clarity is such a relief - and it has brought the joy back into dressing. I don't have a clothes budget, but I've released the burden of having the wrong-for-me clothes in the wardrobe and I've made some amazing second-hand finds which give me daily joy.
I did some shopping (after 18 months of no-shopping before I saw Elise) and found myself - for the first time in my life - only keeping the 100% items instead of the "that will do" items.
I sold my inherited gold jewellery and had my existing items re-made into items I actually wear, and got a dream-handbag in my favourite colour, so I have a daily reminder of my new path.
I have Elise's skills to thank for this mental peace. So "Thank You Elise"

View TestimonialThank you Elise, I had a lovely time. It was a real eye opener to discover the range & types of colours that suited me and how to wear them. The wardrobe suddenly makes much more sense to me and I feel more empowered when buying, especially online when you don't have the chance to try on, to make sure I make the right purchase. I'm looking forward to building a wardrobe that isn't full of things I never wear but can't quite bring myself to throw away just in case. I'm sure this learning experience will save me money over time. I will remember bright & splashy! It was a relaxing, supportive experience with excellent take home messages to apply from now on. Elise was very knowledgeable and her new studio sounds fantastic. The best ever home baked cookies were worth the visit alone! I would definitely recommend booking in with Elise to family and friends.

View TestimonialThe whole experience, from start to finish, was a delight. I was very impressed with the space - a proper studio that felt cosy and calm.
Elise was wonderful: so welcoming, friendly and chatty. I felt well looked after throughout the experience and thoroughly enjoyed discovering more about the world of colour. She was very knowledgeable, and I loved her enthusiasm for what she does. I was in awe of her own story with colour and her transformation - that alone helped me connect with how powerful this experience can be for people, and I really loved that.
I had a lot of fun in the chair as we explored all the different colours together. It was fascinating to see how the colours actually affected how I looked. Seeing myself in my “wow” colours felt amazing - and there was one shade in particular that even made me a little teary (in the best way!).
I went away feeling beautiful and more confident, knowing I can now walk into a shop and actually understand which colours will help me look my best. I’d love to come back sometime to explore my style personality.
Thank you, Elise - you’ve given me a gift that will last a lifetime.

View TestimonialI cannot recommend Elise more highly. She is passionate and knowledgeable, combining that with a naturally supportive and kind approach - I feel so much more confident as a result, in both my style and colour choices, and also in my use of make up (yesterday’s challenge was identifying a bold lipstick… I managed to do that with Elise’s advice, as well as perfecting make up techniques and options that really work for me… as someone who doesn’t wear much make up, Elise ensured that what we selected was true to me and that I am comfortable in knowing how best to apply it!). Thank you!

View TestimonialI cannot reccomend getting your colour analysis/classes done with Elise enough. I have done the colour analysis, style class and make up class and all have been so much fun and also so helpful. You come away with tools and information to be able to make much better clothing choices and much more equipped to look your best. You also learn so much about yourself! Elise is friendly, chatty, makes you feel comfortable, it honestly feels like spending a day with your friend. She even wisked me off to a bra shop she knew during my style class at no extra benefit to herself when I admitted I was uncomfortable every day due to having none that fit properly! After your class you are provided with an online wardrobe with clothes items that match your style and colours which is also extremely useful.

View TestimonialElise was lovely. I’d previously had a terrible experience with a different colour and style consultation company, where I’d had my colours and style done, but was just left believing that my colours, height, and body shape meant that I could never look good, and that these were the reasons WHY I hated clothes shopping so much. The colours and style analyses did nothing to improve my confidence, despite the consultant being very experienced. I believe this is because the company’s style consultation just wasn’t in-depth enough to help me.
I had the total opposite experience with Elise. I came away liking my colours, and with the confidence and information on how to dress that suits my colouring, my height, my body shape, and my personality. I’m now excited about developing my style and extending it as a part of my personality.
I felt that Elise really cared about whether I came away confident, or not, and that I had a much better experience with her than the one I’d had previously.

View TestimonialI had booked a session with Kate two years ago but was unfortunately diagnosed with cancer on the day of my session. The good news is that the cancer is now all cleared, but it left me with a severe lack of confidence and struggling to start a new life as a retired lady. I have always struggled with deciding what the right styles were for me and trying to tone colours. I knew how I wanted to look but not how to achieve it.
Before our session, Kate had asked me to think about my objectives for the sessions and to think about how I would like to look. This was such a valuable task and gave Kate and I a good starting point in our discussions.
Kate was such an inspiration. I felt as if I had known her for years and we really covered so much in the day. I came away knowing not only which colours suit me but with a whole new insight into my body shape and dressing style. Who knew I had a touch of romantic in me!!
Since then I have had such fun sorting out my wardrobe. Shopping for clothes has become a joy, It is now so much easier to head for the colours that I know are going to suit me. All of my clothes now go together and I love getting dressed every morning. My confidence has had such a boost and I now approach new situations with a confidence which I have never felt before.
If you are wondering whether to book a session I would say ‘go for it’! You will love it and be amazed at what you find out about yourself – enjoy!!

Having a relaxed dress policy at work makes it sometimes difficult to know what to wear but now I know the winter colours I can make my casual wardrobe work well for work too with the right colours and accessories. I can also enjoy pulling out a nice dress from time to time for those smarter work occasions.

I would like to thank Kate for a fabulous colour consultation. I was surprised and delighted to discover that I am a 'Spring'. The transformation in trying different colours and tones and the effect they can have was amazing. I would recommend attending the course with others, as it was really beneficial to see the process on different people; and even though the 3 of us didn't know each other, we celebrated the differences & journey together.
I just wish I'd had it done years ago!

I live with my husband of over 20 years, our 3 teenagers and our dog, Ned, who I jokingly say is my favourite child.
In my comfortable, private and friendly home studio, I cover Coulsdon, Purley, Caterham, Warlingham, Oxted, Bletchingley, Nutfield and the surrounding areas.
If you ever see a hot (menopausal!), cheery, tall, well-padded and gloriously colourful lady being walked by a bouncy yellow labrador in these parts, you've probably found me!
I love baking and eating so there's always something yummy to tempt your tastebuds in my studio!
I'm really keen on my making (aka "grannie") hobbies like knitting, crochet and sewing, and these are my favourite ways to relax and filter out the "noise" (both mental and actual) of the world.
I enjoy music of all sorts, I love singing and dancing - badly - is there such a thing as "Mum Dancing"?
I also love to read, although there never seems to be enough time.
I really, really, really hate ironing, rap music, blue cheese and celery!
I do my best to create a warm, friendly and relaxed atmosphere when I welcome clients into my home studio.
This is a place of kindness, acceptance and nurture, where you will never be judged, and where I hope everyone feels safe and able to fully embrace the experience of the services I offer.
I also aim to make every visit to the studio a fun and enjoyable time.
There's usually laughter, there's sometimes tears, and there's always tea and treats.
My Colour and Style Journey
I've always been interested in clothes, make-up, hair and, most especially, in fabulous shoes. Oh, to have ever so slightly smaller feet than my actual size 9s!
Being born in the 70s and living my teenage years through the 80s I've sported some styling masterpieces in my time, as well as the odd fashion crime - neon fishnet gloves anyone?!
I was gifted a colour analysis session years ago, and that experience marked the beginning of my journey towards understanding why I naturally gravitate to certain colours, and why some colours - even some of the ones I love - just don't suit me, while others look amazing on me and can even make me look better than I feel.
Like so many people, my personal style has evolved and changed over the years, in step with the various stages of my life.
Through my student days, my early career working in pub and retail management, then into more corporate roles in The City, and ultimately as a wife, stay at home mum, volunteer, School Governor and PTA Chairperson/dogsbody I "dressed up" in the clothes that I thought I was suppoesd to wear.
Since that first introduction to colour analysis, I've gone on to gain a deeper understanding of my own particular style, so now I know not only the best colours for me, but also the shapes and styles that suit both my physical body architecture and my character.
I'm a warm, autumn, swashbuckling, flirty, piratey, flamboyant, treasure wearing, gypsy type!
Now I always feel completely "me" in my clothes, and while life throws many worries and anxieties my way, what to wear is never one of them!
Do you want to invest some time and energy into your own wellbeing, self-esteem and image?
Are you returning to work, getting a promotion or changing job and in need of a fresh working wardrobe to give you confidence, impact and credibility?
Perhaps you're at an age or stage in life where you would like to rediscover your sense of yourself and your inner confidence?
Do your clothes fail to reflect your personality and style preferences, not work for your lifestyle, or do they just make you look and feel tired, old, frumpy, sad or poorly?
Are you looking for some colour or style inspiration for a big occasion or holiday?
Would you like to declutter and learn how to buy less, spend less and shop more mindfully and sustainably?
Would you like to build an effortless capsule wardrobe for work or travel?
Or do you simply want to know "How to Look Good Knackered"? 😉
If you've answered yes to any of these questions, I can help!
While my personal style, taste and best colours might not be the same as yours, my training enables me to show you what works best for you, so you can develop your own, unique and truly "you" look..
I'd love to help you discover the colours and styles that will make you look and feel fabulous so that you can love your wardrobe as much as I now love mine.
I truly believe that what happens here is so much more than just trivial, skin-deep, foppery or vanity.
It can help you take control of the impression you make on others, while honouring your own individual and unique colouring, body shape and personality.
It's empowering, because it gives you not just the tools, but also permission to accept, celebrate and rejoice in your skin, your body and your self and it’s actually really important, human stuff!
There may be triggers or light-bulb revelations, there may be tears, there will probably be laughter, Whatever happens, I promise your consultation with me will be safe, friendly, totally non-judgemental, nurturing and informative, and I will do my best to make it fun too!
To start your own colour and style journey, please book your appointment or contact me for more information.
It's a fantastic investment in yourself and the knowledge you gain will serve you for a lifetime.
Welcome to my studio, and the beginning of your colour and style journey.
This is where the magic happens!
The studio is a dedicated room in my home in Old Coulsdon. It's a warm, relaxed and airy space, with comfy chairs and natural daylight. There will always be tea and biscuits! There is plenty of space available for you to park on the drive, and the studio is on the ground floor, right next to the loo.
The services available in the studio are:
- Colour Analysis - this can be on an exclusive one to one basis, or in groups of up to 3 people.
- Make-up Lesson - once you know your season and we've found your best make-up shades, you can explore how to apply the products to the best advantage for your particular facial features and complexion, and how to take your make-up look from day, to evening, to full on party!
- Colour Rerate - your season won't change during your lifetime, but your best colours within your seasonal palette might.
- Personal Style - this can be done on an exclusive one to one basis, or in a group of 2.
- Children's Colour Analysis - this is a service for under 14s and is a pared down version of the full analysis.
More details on all of these services can be found in the bookings page. Please note that the timescales mentioned are estimates only, and can vary depending on how chatty we are, and how much fun we're having!
Other House of Colour services are available outside of the studio. I can come to your home to do a wardrobe review or declutter, or we can hit the shops together to look for a special outfit, or items to fill the wardrobe gaps. I also deliver talks in the workplace, or to groups such as WIs.
As well as the House of Colour tools of the trade of precision dyed drapes, mirrors and tape measure, I have samples of the entire House of Colour make-up range, so you can test the lippies to your heart's content and I stock a large selection of the products for you to take away with you. I also have a selection of scarves, wraps, handbags and jewellery, in all of the seasonal palettes, so if you need an immediate fix in the right colour or metal, you can find it all here.
My Services
I believe a conversation is usually the best place to start, so please get in touch if you'd like to know more about me, my studio or the various House of Colour services and how they might work for you, and we can have a quick, no obligation chat.
Colour Analysis
-
Transform getting dressed everyday into an effortless and joyful experience with our life-changing colour analysis.
Through precision-dyed drapes and my expert training, I provide you with invaluable insights of knowing your season; a palette of colours customised to your unique undertones. Our approach is inclusive, serving people of all ages, races, ethnicities, and genders, ensuring that your season remains a timeless guide throughout your life.
Experience the three essential components of our colour sessions:
First is our world-class, scientific draping process that we have refined for excellence and accuracy over the past four decades. Next, I will provide advice on jewellery, watches, glasses, and, when applicable, hair and makeup based on your season. Our makeup eliminates the guesswork, enhancing your natural beauty with colours perfectly suited to you. Finally, we’ll dive further into your season as we identify the best colours for both your casual and professional life, uncovering your collection of WOW colours.
You will leave your appointment equipped with a fan of your seasonal swatches and a tailored brochure filled with personalised tips and reminders specific to you, empowering you to confidently shop for and wear your new colours!
For optimal accuracy, arrive at your analysis without spray tans or makeup. Your privacy is paramount, so no photos will be taken or shared on social media without your consent.
Style Analysis
-
Discover the science and psychology behind personal style by unlocking the power of you. During a style analysis, I'll empower you to seamlessly combine your inner self with your outward appearance, so you can step out into the world radiating confidence as your authentic self.
We consider your proportions, personality, and preferences to give you a style framework - we call this a “Clothing Personality."
You will confidently know which fabrics, prints, patterns, accessories, necklines, details, and silhouettes flatter your unique body architecture best. By integrating your personality into this framework, our style analysis transcends mere fashion guidance, going a step further to help you identify how you feel in different styles and pieces, ensuring that your wardrobe not only reflects your style but also represents your individuality.
For this appointment, you’ll bring 5–10 items from your closet that you LOVE and 5–10 that make you wonder why you don’t feel good when putting them on. Together, we’ll use this information to help you discover why you gravitated toward and loved certain pieces and what it is about the others that weren’t working for you, saving you time and money in the future! At House of Colour, we believe clothing needs to be adjusted to you, not the other way around. It is our goal to make sure you feel your most confident as who you are and how you look right now.
You’ll leave with a book with detailed information specific to you that we’ll fill out during the appointment and a Clothing Personality card with keywords that will help guide you when shopping. If you’ve already had a colour analysis, this card can be inserted into your fan which will make shopping easy and efficient!
Advanced Colour Analysis
-
This appointment is ideal for those seeking to refresh or delve deeper into their seasonal palette. Together, we’ll discover your best neutrals and explore an array of colour combinations, empowering you to curate a capsule wardrobe that brings joy with every wear.
Experience tailored makeup recommendations, including your perfect lip colours, and receive expert advice on hair shades that perfectly harmonise with your palette.
You’ll also unlock the full potential of MyHOCLookBook as we guide you through organizing your wardrobe, identifying styling gaps, and igniting inspiration to experiment with new pieces.
Wardrobe Edit
-
This appointment is designed to apply all the knowledge you gained in your colour and/or style analysis and appointment and apply it to your own wardrobe. Together, we'll filter through the pieces you don’t wear so you can donate or resell them, keeping your closet free from clutter so you can better mix and match pieces in your wardrobe to create more looks with fewer items.
This process liberates your closet from clutter, empowering you to effortlessly mix and match pieces to unlock endless styling possibilities with fewer items.
Personal Shopping
-
My House of Colour personal shopping service will make finding new clothing, shoes, jewellery and accessories hassle-free. As your personal stylist, I will be offering you my time, via this service, as your very own personal shopper. You can personalise how I use this time so that it is completely tailored to your objectives and desires.
Whether you are looking for the perfect outfit for a special event, refreshing your wardrobe for the latest season, or just want expert guidance on how to continue looking your best, my personal shopping services are shaped around you and your goals.
There are a number of ways for you to personalise our House of Colour personal shopping service, for example:
- We can shop together in person
- I can conduct online personal shopping for you, buying items that I know work with your unique features, characteristics and personality
- I can undertake online personal shopping for you, saving items I believe would illuminate you and you can browse and buy at your own pace later.
Let me help you get to clothes you love faster, easier and with my expert guidance, so you can wear what fits, what flatters, and what feels like you with ease.

View TestimonialI visited Nickie for a colour analysis and had a great day learning all about the colours that are right for me.
It was so interesting to learn all about the science and psychology behind colour analysis as well as having the time to learn what works for me.
It was great to have 3 hours to devote to myself and I came away feeling much more confident about how I look and how to dress thoughtfully for myself.
I was surprised by how empowering this is and have really noticed a difference in terms of how I choose what clothes and makeup to wear, how I see myself and how others see me.
Thanks Nickie for a brilliant day and the lasting effects of it.

View TestimonialI've had two fabulous sessions with Nickie - Style and Make-Up (I had my colour consultation previously with another stylist). Both sessions were so much fun and have really helped me to 'dress my best self' every day.
After the Style Consultation, I came away with a real understanding of my body geometrics and how to work with these to maximise my looks and confidence everyday. I now shop with the knowledge that the purchases I make are an investment in myself and my wardrobe and not a one season trend.
The Make-Up Consultation was an absolute blast; I now have not only the knowledge, but the make-up too, to be able to create a sliding scale of looks (from everyday to out-out) with the same group of products that are all perfectly matched to my skin tones and my wardrobe!
I honestly cannot recommend this enough; why would you not want to have the knowledge to be able to look and feel your best?

Thank you for the follow up, what a lovely day we all had with you. Since I met with you I have cleared most of my wardrobe, sent to charity and sold quite a few items on Vinted. It’s given me the boost to think about myself again which I haven’t done for years! I am still trying to find clothes in my best base colours and getting my head around my new colours (which I love) and new make up tips. I had switched mascara colour , and using the new blusher which I love. I am also at the hairdressers tomorrow for a new colour. 😀
Thank you so much for the new insight to my life 😍

My story
My journey with colour began with the stark realisation that I had lost my way with clothes - and my identity - after failing to invest in myself over many years.
As busy women we are used to juggling a lot (work, family, home, friends…the list is endless), but we can fall into the trap of neglecting our own well-being and priorities. This was the situation I found myself in post-divorce and trying to work out who I was again.
Through my coiour and style consultations, I saw the impact that my colours had on my appearance and to truly understand and express my style. As I moved into a new chapter of my life, It turned out to be the springboard I needed to boost my self-esteem and confidence. I am continually amazed at how investing in myself has positively impacted other areas of my life too.
I am now the proud owner of a capsule wardrobe (I never thought this would be me!) as all my clothes mix and match in my palette, making getting dressed, shopping, and packing so much simpler and easier. I wish I'd done it sooner as knowing my colours and style saves me time and money, and helps me be the best version of myself : )
Witnessing the impact of colour consultations on myself and close family and friends has led me to become a House of Colour consultant to help others experience this too. I'm passionate about working with people who are ready to invest in themselves whatever the reason(s). I have a kind and empathetic manner and the personality to create a fun and magical experience as you embark on your journey with colour and style to become the best version of yourself.
Simply get in touch to discover your colours and style! I'd love to help.

I knew that the session would be fun and informative, but I wasn't prepared for the profound effect it had on my confidence and self-esteem. Helen's warm and bubbly greeting was as bright and welcoming as her beautiful home and immaculate studio. With a cup of coffee in hand and some delicious cake to eat, I learnt about the science behind the colour wheel (fascinating!) and then spent a very happy 2 hours refining the colour palette that was me. Helen's expert eye combined with her passion for colour made the process so much fun. Finding colours and makeup that made my complexion sing and gave me a wonderful radiant glow was fabulous. I left feeling energised, vibrant and ready to take on the world looking and feeling my absolute best. Thank you, Helen!

View TestimonialI had the most fabulous colour consultation with Helen recently! I loved every second of it; from learning about colour in her home studio, chatting about all things clothes, make up and colour, and the most fun bit – finding out what my optimum colour palette is.
I could really see the difference to my complexion and general ‘look’ when I had the ‘right’ colour drapes on me; it was quite a revelation! Finding out more about make up (for someone who wears it sporadically) was really enlightening too; I feel so much more confident about which shades of make up suits me best, and I can’t wait to get those lippies on!
Since my colour consultation (2 days ago!) I have separated my wardrobe into two parts, sold some clothes on a pre-loved website (and maybe bought some new bits!) and cleared out all my old make-up….eagerly awaiting my new stuff to arrive!
This was truly an experience just for ‘me.’ As Helen so aptly put it, it’s like a spa day that keeps on giving – it’s not over the moment you leave…more of a journey that has only just begun. I’m now excited about finding a few new clothes that make me look the best version of me, and feeling so much more confident about wearing make up. Thank you so much Helen; I can’t wait for our next session on style!"

It was not about fashion or trends (which I find intimidating) but my personality and finding the style that represents me the way I want for work and for fun time. Helen supported me to come to conclusions with guidance, not rules, so I could go forward feeling comfortable in my choices. I have come away with a clear idea of what is guaranteed to work for me and coupled with my colour analysis I have gone shopping with confidence. I have also cleared out more than 60% of my wardrobe and selling/recycling so I’m already starting to see the return on investment. Couldn’t recommend the style session with Helen higher.

I was a bit nervous/excited on arrival but Helen's beautiful warm energy made me feel very comfortable and at ease. This was my birthday treat to myself and I'm so so glad I did it! I've been confused about my undertone forever.. so was chuffed to finally get a clear answer. When Helen draped me with all my best colours at the end I was so elated it brought tears. Thank you Helen!

View TestimonialReally recommend taking the plunge and investing in an appointment! Helen is clearly very good at what she does. I arrived keen to understand more about colours but feeling a bit doubtful whether it would work. I thought maybe I wouldn’t quite fit in a box and thought I sat between warm and cool. Helen was really thorough and methodical and found an amazing balance between patience and enthusiasm! She didn’t push any opinions on me but was quietly confident in the process and after a while, I began to see the colours altering my face. Since my appointment, I’ve started digging out winter colours that I used to wear when I was younger and I feel great - I look healthier and more awake. Since getting home I’ve found that almost all my lipstick and other makeup was the wrong tone for me really - too warm or too muted, and I was wearing warm-toned jewellery, so picking out earthy tones that didn’t really suit me, no wonder I was confused!

View TestimonialWow! What an amazing morning I spent at the beginning of April with Helen, House of Colour consultant, at her house, in my home town of BOA finding out about my "colours" and finding out what season I am. So chuffed, loving Autumn colours anyway, that I am an Autumn and having everything explained to me in such a personable way by Helen and enjoying her company so much and having so much fun and a bit of a giggle I can honestly say it was an experience I will never forget. Helen was so friendly and helpful. Well worth having done to make you feel special and looking at "a new you".

I cannot recommend Helen enough - you need her in your life!

View TestimonialHaving had colour analysis many years ago, I have long wanted to do the style session as well - I finally did this with Helen yesterday and it really was worth the wait. We had a lovely afternoon and it was fascinating to discover exactly why I have always felt drawn to certain styles and shapes, and not to others. Helen has a beautiful studio and made the whole session so interesting and informative, following a structure but also allowing the flexibility to make the session very bespoke. I'm so glad to have done this and would highly recommend Helen as a consultant - she is so friendly, approachable and knowledgeable so you will come away feeling confident and inspired.

Read my 5-star Google Reviews.
It all starts with discovering what truly suits you.
When your clothes suit your natural colouring, shape, personality, and lifestyle, everything feels easier. You look great and feel more confident. And when your makeup, jewellery, glasses, and hair colour work too, it’s the perfect finishing touch.
With Colour and Style Analysis, looking put-together becomes effortless. You can create a wardrobe where everything works together. Getting dressed is easy, shopping is fun, and you stop buying things you never wear. Best of all, you’ll spend less time worrying about what to wear and more time enjoying life, whether that’s with family, friends, or showing up with confidence at work.
Life has its ups and downs — and during those times, it’s easy to lose your sense of self.
We all want to look and feel our best. But after a life change, it’s easy to lose your way. You might not recognise yourself, and knowing how to dress the “new you” can feel overwhelming and scary. But it doesn’t have to be.
After being diagnosed with Lyme Disease, I gained weight and felt completely run down. I didn’t know how to dress my changing body, and I felt like I’d lost who I was.
Discovering Colour and Style Analysis changed everything. It helped me rebuild my confidence and feel like myself again. It played such a big part in my recovery that I knew I had to help other women, because in many ways, it saved me.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
I wear fake tan — will it affect my Colour Analysis?
Fake tan can affect the accuracy of your results, as we need to see your natural skin undertone. Please make sure any fake tan has worn off your face and neck before your appointment. A natural tan is fine. Once we've identified your season, I can advise whether the undertone in your fake tan suits you.
Will Colour Analysis help me choose the right foundation?
Yes! During your session, we'll identify your skin's undertone. This will help you choose foundation shades that blend seamlessly with your natural colouring, whether cool, warm, or neutral.
Do I need to be makeup-free for my Colour Analysis?
Yes — it's essential to be makeup-free so we can see your natural skin tone. If you're not comfortable arriving without makeup, you're welcome to remove it at the studio, but please note this will take time out of your session.
My hair is dyed — does that matter?
Not at all. During your Colour Analysis, we'll cover your hair to focus on your natural skin tone without distraction. Once we've identified your season, I'll advise you on the hair colours that will suit you best.
Will my seasonal colour palette change as I age?
Your undertone stays the same, so your overall season won’t change. However, as you go grey or your colouring softens, your sub-season or best (wow) colours within your palette may shift. If that happens, a Colour Re-rate session can help update and refine your colour choices.
Can I bring a friend to my session to watch?
You're welcome to bring a friend to watch your colour analysis session. However, style analysis sessions are more personal and in-depth, so friends may only attend if they are also booked in as paying participants.

View TestimonialI was lucky enough to receive a gift voucher from my nieces. It’s been a challenging couple of years, and honestly, I think I lost myself a little bit. I stuck to drab, boring colours because it was easy.
One visit with Charlie and I’m excited about getting ready in the morning because I’m wearing colours that suit me and make-up, that’s really lovely. I always stuck with neutral colours, and now I’m wearing red lipstick regularly!! Never thought that would be me in 100 years.
If you have any doubts, push them to one side because having a colour analysis is so worth it. In just a few days, my daughters say that I seem happier and more confident.

View TestimonialI booked a group colour analysis and makeup session with Charlie for myself, my mum, and my sister. We had been talking about getting our colours done for some time and with my sister's wedding on the horizon it felt like the perfect time to do so!
Charlie was incredibly welcoming from the offset and made us feel right at home. She explained the theory behind colour analysis with examples that really helped us to understand the science behind the process.
Charlie took her time when draping and it was eye opening. I had no idea that the right colours could even impact your face shape and make cheekbones and jaw lines appear more defined. I had always thought that I was an autumn season like my mum and sister, but it transpired that I am in fact a winter. I tried colours I would never have previously considered and am going to have a wardrobe revamp now! Similarly, she was able to discuss the best hair colours for the autumn season with my mum, and we were able to focus on the best wedding dress colours for my sister.
Charlie's makeup tips were fantastic and she truly went above and beyond to ensure that the session was as sucessful as possible. She is warm, professional, and knowledgeable; I can't thank her enough for the session.

View TestimonialI had a full colour and style session booked with Charlie this week and wow, what an experience. As a mid 30s woman it is something I wish I had done years ago! Charlie is an amazing woman who explains everything in a clear and concise way. The correct colours to wear and how to match them to your make up, accessories and even hair styles! The personalised profile of your style and influences really helps when deciding what and who you want to present when you walk out your front door. Not to mention the help it gives when walking into a department store!! All in all if you are considering having a day with Charlie, do it. You won't regret it, will learn so much about yourself and have the knowledge to step into your feminine energy and the confidence of knowing you look incredible.

View TestimonialCharlie is great. I went with a friend to do the colour analysis as I was fed up of guessing what would look good on me and having a really uncoordinated wardrobe. I really wanted to look more professional for work too and to just have more confidence in general around dressing myself in clothes that suit me. Since doing the colour analysis, I've had so much fun shopping for new clothes, doing my make up and experimenting with different outfits and colour combos. Everyone's complimented my new approach to dressing and I feel much more confident and put together now. Thank you Charlie!

Charlie took time to make me feel comfortable and relaxed, explaining all of the fascinating background information and research to colour analysis.

Charlie’s bright enthusiasm and expertise in colour analysis made for a brilliant session and I came away with confidence in choosing clothes and makeup shades that will suit me best! Charlie was really welcoming and so accommodating - I would 100% recommend Charlie for your colour analysis!

View TestimonialIn my early 40’s, I felt completely out of touch with personal style and clothes. Then I met Charlie for a colour analysis session, and it was the best investment I’ve ever made in myself. Her warm and friendly personality instantly put me at ease. It was like chatting with a good friend whilst she expertly analysed my colours. Finding my perfect palette was a revelation! For the first time in decades, I’m excited to go shopping, armed with this newfound knowledge. The experience was so positive, I booked a style analysis session a week later. Now Charlie is helping me transform my wardrobe into something that reflects my confidence, femininity and true self. She even provided detailed notes and information to guide me on this journey. Her passion for style is infectious, and her talent is undeniable. This was a five-star experience that I highly recommend to anyone looking to feel amazing in their own skin.

View TestimonialI had a brilliant time with Charlie working out what season of colours and styles suited me. After some health challenges and changes to my body, Charlie, with kindness, gave me confidence again in what to wear. She’s knowledgeable, approachable, helpful and creates a welcoming environment. We began by working out what colours suited me and what my WOW colours were. Over the years I’ve had various attempts at trying to work this out. Charlie led me through the process with real patience, explaining as we went along. She also showed me some great make-up options and a few top tips. The next session was all about my style personality and what shapes, cuts of clothes and fabrics would be good for me. Attempting to put it into practice the following weekend, I got so many compliments! I highly recommend this process and especially Charlie!

View TestimonialI have been interested in colour analysis for a long time and since making the decision to go grey a couple of years ago I was losing confidence in which colours suited me. Charlie was very welcoming and explained the process thoroughly before the consultation began. I found it fascinating learning about the science of colour analysis and thoroughly enjoyed my morning. I now feel that I have the confidence to explore a wide variety of colours and even know which make up colours and products to opt for. I use a wheelchair and found access to Charlie’s beautiful home really easy and didn’t have any issues with any part of the consultation. If you are on the fence about having a colour analysis session then I can highly recommend contacting Charlie. The information and advice she offers really is enlightening and definitely worth the investment. She is a really genuine and warm person and goes out of her way to ensure that you have the very best consultation possible.

View TestimonialI had some past experience of colour me beautiful which gave me an interest in knowing what colours suited me. For years I thought I was a summer, but I wanted to know for sure, so I took the plunge and treated myself to a colour analysis session with Charlie for my birthday. From the moment I walked in I felt at home in Charlie’s beautiful house. She was bubbly, had a real passion for colour and style, made me feel cared for and provided a really special experience. As Charlie draped colours on me, I could see for myself that I was ‘warm’ rather than ‘cool’ and was shocked to find that I was Autumn. Although I wasn’t expecting this, it was exciting to see how my new colours made me look so much healthier and how they really enhanced my eye colour. Charlie was so knowledgeable about makeup and style, and I loved the tips she taught me while doing my makeup. The experience was well worth the investment. I went away on a high realising how much more confident I can feel wearing the right colours and makeup.

My story:
I first heard of colour analysis in Germany over 20 years ago and I was intrigued but never got around to actually do anything about it. I then forgot about and moved to the UK in 1999. I worked as an IT consultant mostly in the Telecommunication and Banking sectors for over 18 years and had to follow a certain dress code. I wore a lot of black, despite being a winter, not my best colour. Dressing for work was easy but I had a real issue with casual or smart casual and ended up with a wardrobe full of clothes but never knowing what to wear.
I remembered the colour analysis and went online to find out if it was available in the UK and found House of Colour. I gifted myself a 121 colour analysis session. It was one of the best investments I’ve made. It suddenly was clear why I really looked good in certain colours but looked washed out and tired others. I then proceeded to complete my colour, style and makeup consultations and I have never looked back. I now have a wardrobe in which everything goes with everything else, and it is a pleasure to get dressed in the morning. I know what colours and styles suit me. I get comments on how well I look even on days when I don’t feel great at all rather than how nice that jumper or dress or jacket looks that I am wearing.
How I can support you:
Do you have a wardrobe full of clothes in various colours but struggle with getting dressed in the morning
Do you want to find out which are the best colours for you to wear and how to combine them?
Do you need help with dressing outside of work

Colour Analysis
-
Transform getting dressed everyday into an effortless and joyful experience with our life-changing colour analysis.
Through precision-dyed drapes and my expert training, I provide you with invaluable insights of knowing your season; a palette of colours customised to your unique undertones. Our approach is inclusive, serving people of all ages, races, ethnicities, and genders, ensuring that your season remains a timeless guide throughout your life.
Experience the three essential components of our colour sessions:
First is our world-class, scientific draping process that we have refined for excellence and accuracy over the past four decades. Next, I will provide advice on jewellery, watches, glasses, and, when applicable, hair and makeup based on your season. Our makeup eliminates the guesswork, enhancing your natural beauty with colours perfectly suited to you. Finally, we’ll dive further into your season as we identify the best colours for both your casual and professional life, uncovering your collection of WOW colours.
You will leave your appointment equipped with a fan of your seasonal swatches and a tailored brochure filled with personalised tips and reminders specific to you, empowering you to confidently shop for and wear your new colours!
For optimal accuracy, arrive at your analysis without spray tans or makeup. Your privacy is paramount, so no photos will be taken or shared on social media without your consent.
I offer the following options for colour analysis:
Personal Colour Analysis (1:1) in person in my Battersea Studio
Group Consultations: I can cater for groups up to 3 people.
Colour re-rate: This session is only suitable if you already had a full colour analysis session with House of Colour and know your season. A re-rate is recommneded after 7-10 years.
Advanced Colour Consultation (1:1): The advanced colour consultation is designed for clients who have already completed a colour analysis and would like to use their palette with greater confidence and precision.

Style Analysis
-
Discover the science and psychology behind personal style by unlocking the power of you. During a style analysis, I'll empower you to seamlessly combine your inner self with your outward appearance, so you can step out into the world radiating confidence as your authentic self.
We consider your proportions, personality, and preferences to give you a style framework - we call this a “Clothing Personality."
You will confidently know which fabrics, prints, patterns, accessories, necklines, details, and silhouettes flatter your unique body architecture best. By integrating your personality into this framework, our style analysis transcends mere fashion guidance, going a step further to help you identify how you feel in different styles and pieces, ensuring that your wardrobe not only reflects your style but also represents your individuality.
For this appointment, you’ll bring 5–10 items from your closet that you LOVE and 5–10 that make you wonder why you don’t feel good when putting them on. Together, we’ll use this information to help you discover why you gravitated toward and loved certain pieces and what it is about the others that weren’t working for you, saving you time and money in the future! At House of Colour, we believe clothing needs to be adjusted to you, not the other way around. It is our goal to make sure you feel your most confident as who you are and how you look right now.
You’ll leave with a book with detailed information specific to you that we’ll fill out during the appointment and a Clothing Personality card with keywords that will help guide you when shopping. If you’ve already had a colour analysis, this card can be inserted into your fan which will make shopping easy and efficient!
I offer the following Style services:
Personal Style Consultation (1:1): In this consultation, we look at your body architecture, proportions and lifestyle to develop a clear, practical style framework that supports who you are and how you live. The aim is to remove uncertainty and give you a reliable way of choosing clothes that feel natural, appropriate and intentional.
Advanced Style Consultation (1:1): The advanced style refinement is designed for clients who already have a clear understanding of their personal style and would like to develop it further as their life, body or circumstances evolve.
Select the <Book Now> button at the top to find out more about colour analysis options, prices and available dates.
Wardrobe Edit
-
This appointment is designed to apply all the knowledge you gained in your colour and/or style analysis and appointment and apply it to your own wardrobe. Together, we'll filter through the pieces you don’t wear so you can donate or resell them, keeping your closet free from clutter so you can better mix and match pieces in your wardrobe to create more looks with fewer items.
This process liberates your closet from clutter, empowering you to effortlessly mix and match pieces to unlock endless styling possibilities with fewer items.
Wardrobe Edit (1:1):
A wardrobe edit helps you apply your colour and style knowledge directly to what you already own — so your wardrobe works more effectively for your life.
This is a practical, structured session where we review your wardrobe with a clear lens, identifying what truly supports you, what can be refined, and what no longer serves you. The focus is not on throwing everything out, but on understanding why certain items work well and others don’t

Personal Shopping
-
My House of Colour personal shopping service will make finding new clothing, shoes, jewellery and accessories hassle-free. As your personal stylist, I will be offering you my time, via this service, as your very own personal shopper. You can personalise how I use this time so that it is completely tailored to your objectives and desires.
Whether you are looking for the perfect outfit for a special event, refreshing your wardrobe for the latest season, or just want expert guidance on how to continue looking your best, my personal shopping services are shaped around you and your goals.
There are a number of ways for you to personalise our House of Colour personal shopping service, for example:
- We can shop together in person
- I can conduct online personal shopping for you, buying items that I know work with your unique features, characteristics and personality
- I can undertake online personal shopping for you, saving items I believe would illuminate you and you can browse and buy at your own pace later.
Let me help you get to clothes you love faster, easier and with my expert guidance, so you can wear what fits, what flatters, and what feels like you with ease.
Personal Shopping Support (By Request)
This is not a browsing or trend-led shopping experience. Support is focused, time-bound and guided by your established colour and style framework. In many cases, this may involve targeted online research or preparation rather than time spent in shops.
This service is available by request only and is discussed on an individual basis.

View TestimonialI'd been thinking about booking a colour analysis for some time and am so glad I went ahead. Karin was welcoming, professional, and patient. After working through the drapes, I could really see which colours brought out my natural colouring and enhanced my features, and which were less flattering. There were definitely some unexpected insights and some puzzle pieces falling into place. I've since returned to Karin for a style analysis, which has added another dimension to my wardrobe revamping journey. Both sessions have been invaluable and money well spent - take the plunge!

View TestimonialThank you Karin so much for my colour analysis session, it was fabulous. I am relieved to finally have the confidence to stop buying black and dark clothes thinking they make me look thinner when in fact they make me look tired and dull. My Blue Spring colours are lovely and will help transform how I look. The mini make-up session was really good as I've not updated my makeup look for quite a while. Trying lipstick colours was an eye opener at how it makes your face light up; I haven't worn lipstick for years but will be brave and start wearing my new lipsticks.

View TestimonialDear Karin,
I just wanted to drop a line to say how much I have got from my colour and style sessions with you.
I must admit when I came for the colour analysis with my sister I thought it would be a bit of fun (which it was!) but that I basically already know what colours work best for me. However, your analysis went so much further. As an "Autumn" I have found it particularly helpful to identify colours that work well in summer. I'm on the lookout for something in "rosewood" now.
Having got so much from the colour analysis I thought I would benefit from the style analysis and wardrobe edit. Like so many people I had so many things in my wardrobe that I liked but just didn't wear. I also had plenty of smart/occasion outfits but couldn't get the hang of smart casual. I now have a much better understanding now of what works for me and how to make the most of what I do have. You were very clear that I didn't need to buy anything!! When I do go shopping now I have a much more instinctive sense of what is my style and why I might like an item of clothing but why It won't work on me. I did buy a new outfit for a wedding, something I wouldn't have considered before and got so many compliments.
If someone was to ask me what your approach is I would describe you as very professional, direct and analytical in your approach, and fun.

View TestimonialHad a wonderful time with Karin doing both colour and style consultations in two separate sessions (including make up consultation). The process was fun and insightful. Karin helps you with clarifying both your objectives as well as discovering elements of style you might have not considered before. She teaches you also to spot the mistakes we might do at times when buying colours or shapes that do not serve us to look and feel our best. Karin is lovely, very professional and welcoming, clear and effective in her guidance and suggestions. Support material provided is also good to get you started on your wardrobe journey. Location is easy to reach and in a private space where you can fell at ease during all phases of the process. I loved it! And can already see improvements in the way I dress and manage my outfits.

We spent a long time just to double check to make sure I found my exact season, and all of my wow colours and I couldn't be happier with the results.

View TestimonialI recently went with my sisters for a colour consultation, and honestly, I wish I had done this years ago. It turns out I’ve been wearing the wrong colours my whole life! Seeing the drapes on me was such an eye-opening experience; you can literally watch certain colours drain all the life from your face, while others make you look instantly brighter and more alive.
Since then, I’ve been walking around shops with completely new eyes and actually knowing what to look for. It already makes getting dressed feel so much easier.
Karin was incredibly knowledgeable, warm, and easy to get along with. She made us feel welcome from the moment we walked in.

“I love working with people to feel confident and truly themselves by unlocking the power of their unique colour and style. Nothing makes me happier than seeing someone light up when they discover how the right colours and clothes can bring out their authentic best.”
Do you want to feel confident and look great in all of your clothes?
Hello, I’m Donna. My studio in Hailsham, East Sussex, is a welcoming space where I help people discover the colours and styles that bring out their best. My own journey with colour analysis showed me just how transformative it can be; the gift of colour is truly the gift of confidence and now I love sharing that experience with others. When you book with House of Colour, you also have the reassurance of knowing that I’ve been trained to the highest standard and bring years of experience to guide you with confidence and care.
We all want to look great and feel confident, but with so much advice out there it can be hard to know what really works. That’s where I can help. At House of Colour we combine the science of colour with body balance principles and fashion psychology, so you can stop guessing and start feeling confident about every outfit you wear.
Why Colour Analysis?
Colour isn’t just about what looks pleasing, it’s science. The right shades will harmonise with your skin tone, eye colour, and hair, making you look brighter, fresher, and more vibrant. The wrong ones can leave you looking tired or washed out. Together, we’ll identify your personal palette, so you’ll know exactly what makes you shine.
The results are practical too. No more standing in front of your wardrobe feeling stuck, or coming home with shopping bags only to find things don’t work. Instead, you’ll have a wardrobe that is a joy to open, with a coordinated collection where everything mixes and matches, giving you more outfits with fewer clothes.
Why Style Analysis?
Style analysis goes deeper than trends. It’s about understanding and balancing your natural body shape, your personality, and how to choose cuts, fabrics, and details that fit you beautifully. I’ll help you uncover your clothing personality so you can dress in a way that feels authentic, polished, and true to you.
When your style and colours are aligned, you have all the knowledge you need to start enjoying your wardrobe. Shopping becomes easier, dressing becomes quicker, and best of all, you’ll feel like the very best version of yourself.
How I Can Help You.
I’ll guide you through every step of the process, making it fun, inspiring, and easy to understand. Whether you want to refresh your look, build a capsule wardrobe, or feel more confident in professional settings, I’ll show you how to make choices that work for you.
What Happens Next.
You can book a one-to-one session or why not come along with friends or family, its even more enjoable to experience it with others. Gift vouchers are also available if you’d like to treat someone. Various wedding consultation packages are available, please call me to enquire.
Not sure about which service you would like to use? Why not give me a call to find out more (07774 825315) or email me directly at donna.lane@houseofcolour.co.uk
I look forward to meeting you.

View TestimonialI have recently started a new job and Donna's colour analysis and guidance has made such a difference to how I dress at work. I feel more confident and every day I feel excited to pick out what I will wear. The day was supportive, fun, and a real treat. It is rare that I allow myself time to think about myself and Donna really helped me to build my confidence and understanding of my colours and how I can dress to enhance how I look.
The setting is gorgeous, and I was really impressed with her studio, huge windows allowing lots of natural light (I now know why that is important) for colour analysis. Donna went the extra mile, and every last detail was thought of, from the delicious cakes and range of drinks to the beautifully decorated and furnished studio. Donna made me feel confident and really listened to me and what I hoped to get out of the day. She explained what she was looking for and how each colour was working with my skin and face,
I was surprised to find out I was a Summer, as I believed I would be a 'Winter', although looking at my clothes now I have no idea why I believed that as I look and feel amazing in the summer colours. Donna had some great tips on how I can start to build my capsule wardrobe and transition to a summer palette.
I cannot recommend Donna and her services enough, her expertise and her friendly and understanding approach made me feel special and pampered. Her eye for detail and the knowledge she gave me mean that I can now confidently shop, and dress in a way that makes me feel amazing. I would also highly recommend going with a friend it is a lovely experience to share with someone. Thank you, Donna.

View TestimonialSorting through my wardrobe over the Christmas break I realised that it had been 16 years since I had had my colours done and my style analysed.
I decided I could do with a revamp. I wanted a sharper focus so that I could shop and not dither, but buy with confidence.
I attended Donna's open day and decided to book a day with her. I spent two happy weeks looking forward to the date.
I arrived armed with my favourite clothes and some that I don't reach for but couldn't explain why.
I was warmly welcomed with coffee and an explanation of the rationale behind the analysis. It is always good to have a deeper understanding of the basics.
Donna took me through the whole process quietly explaining each step. The day is intense and cannot be rushed, but with coffee and a delicious lunch break we reached a conclusion. I understood why I don't wear some items and felt inspired to shop for others.
We followed this with a reappraisal of my colours, noting some subtle changes associated with the passage of time.
I would highly recommend this day. It has re- energised my approach to my wardrobe and given me the confidence to be decisive when shopping.

View TestimonialI had a colour update with Donna & found it super interesting to see how my colours had changed. It was 25 years since my first experience with House of Colour. Donna identified parts of my palette that I have never investigated as some of my best colours now, so I can create a whole new look. I particularly enjoyed the make up advice. I am not a big make up wearer but I could see the difference it made to the way I look during the session. Donna is a lovely person, really passionate & enthusiastic about what she does, which made it a great experience. The room was very light & airy which allowed me to see all the colours & their impact clearly. Highly recommend

House of Colour genuinely changed my life.
I’d love to guide you through the same experience. I help women across Perth and Perthshire feel confident, look great, and fall back in love with getting dressed.
Are you ready to feel confident and look great?
If you’re based in Perth or the surrounding areas and feel stuck in a style rut, House of Colour at Perth Airport could be the start of something really special for you.
Let me ask you a few questions…
- Do you stand in front of your wardrobe most mornings, reaching for the same things on repeat because deciding what to wear feels overwhelming?
- Does getting dressed feel like a chore rather than something you actually enjoy?
- Would you love to shop with confidence, knowing exactly what suits you, instead of guessing and hoping for the best?
- Have you built a wardrobe that reflects everyone else’s tastes, but not really you?
- Would you love to feel not just comfortable in your clothes, but confident, put-together and genuinely great every single day?
- And most importantly…are you ready to invest in yourself?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, then it’s time to join me at House of Colour at Perth Airport.
After just one session, you’ll feel a real shift, not just in how you dress, but in how you feel about yourself. This process genuinely changed my life, and I love nothing more than passing on the gift of House of Colour so others can feel confident, empowered and comfortable being exactly who they are.
Imagine opening your wardrobe and knowing that everything in it works for you.
No more “mistakes”, no more wasted money, and no more feeling unsure.
Did you know the average woman in Britain wears just 20% of her clothes 80% of the time? That means most wardrobes are full of items that don’t quite work. Building your wardrobe from a place of knowledge doesn’t just make financial sense, it’s also more sustainable, with less waste and far more joy in what you already own.
When you wear the right colours for you, you naturally look healthier and more vibrant. When your clothes suit both your body and your personality, confidence follows because you feel comfortable, authentic and completely at ease in your own skin.
SERVICES I OFFER
My recommendation is you start by having both your Colours AND your Style analysed as you need both sets of information to best dress you. I offer numerous bespoke packages which include both of these consultations. Read more about my Services and packages.

ABOUT ME
When I had my colours and style analysed, it genuinely felt like a lightbulb moment. Suddenly, I knew which colours made me look healthy and fresh and the familiar “Are you feeling okay? You look tired” comments disappeared. I finally understood how to dress my body in a way that felt right for my personality, instead of trying to look like everyone else.
I found the process so transformative that I couldn’t stop talking about it. During one of those conversations, my friend Lisa suggested I should train as a consultant so I could share the experience with others. The idea filled me with excitement, I looked into what it would involve nd the rest, as they say, is history.
In short, this process changed my life. I went from dreading choosing what to wear in the morning to genuinely looking forward to it. I now own fewer clothes than ever before, yet have so much more to wear. Everything works together because it’s all right for me, which makes getting dressed effortless and enjoyable.
Alongside being a House of Colour consultant, I’m also a part-time secondary school teacher of Biology and Psychology, and a qualified life coach running my own business, Inner Confidence Coaching. Colour, style and coaching naturally go hand in hand in my work — helping people feel confident in what they wear, strong in who they are, and comfortable showing up as themselves. Supporting others to build confidence, inside and out, is at the heart of everything I do.
Welcome to my studio, where the magic happens!
Welcome to my studio at Perth Airport, where I offer colour and style consultations in a calm, welcoming and beautifully considered space.
I operate from my husband Joakim’s business, Bälans Pilates Studio & Treatment Rooms, a peaceful and private therapy centre located within the thriving Perth Airport Business Park. The studio is easily accessible from Perth and the surrounding areas, yet feels like a quiet retreat from the busyness of everyday life.
A Calm, Thoughtfully Designed Space
Joakim’s Swedish–Australian background is reflected throughout the studio, with an eye for detail evident in every corner. The space brings together influences from different cultures and is adorned with carefully chosen treasures collected from overseas.
Rich natural wood, custom-built furniture and gentle aromas create a warm, relaxing atmosphere, while the interior colour palette has been intentionally designed to feel grounded and soothing, helping you relax, slow down and find a sense of balance as soon as you arrive.
For a little touch of fun, all the signage within Bälans is written in Joakim’s native Swedish, including the name itself, Bälans, which means Balance. The studio was created as a place where people can reconnect with themselves and explore a healthier, more balanced way of living.
My stylist and coaching work fits beautifully within this vision. Together, we both strive to help people feel more comfortable, confident and at ease, inside and out.
Getting Here & Accessibility
The studio is located just off the main routes into Perth, within Perth Airport Business Park, making it easy to reach by car from Perth, Perthshire and surrounding areas.
- Ample free parking directly outside
- Ground-floor access throughout
- No stairs or access issues
From the moment you arrive, everything is designed to feel simple, relaxed and welcoming.
"She also has a beautiful studio space with lots of natural light and a lovely countryside view which made the experience even more special. I highly recommend Louise."

Colour Analysis
-
Transform getting dressed everyday into an effortless and joyful experience with our life-changing colour analysis.
Through precision-dyed drapes and my expert training, I provide you with invaluable insights of knowing your season; a palette of colours customised to your unique undertones. Our approach is inclusive, serving people of all ages, races, ethnicities, and genders, ensuring that your season remains a timeless guide throughout your life.
Experience the three essential components of our colour sessions:
First is our world-class, scientific draping process that we have refined for excellence and accuracy over the past four decades. Next, I will provide advice on jewellery, watches, glasses, and, when applicable, hair and makeup based on your season. Our makeup eliminates the guesswork, enhancing your natural beauty with colours perfectly suited to you. Finally, we’ll dive further into your season as we identify the best colours for both your casual and professional life, uncovering your collection of WOW colours.
You will leave your appointment equipped with a fan of your seasonal swatches and a tailored brochure filled with personalised tips and reminders specific to you, empowering you to confidently shop for and wear your new colours!
For optimal accuracy, arrive at your analysis without spray tans or makeup. Your privacy is paramount, so no photos will be taken or shared on social media without your consent.
Style Analysis
-
Discover the science and psychology behind personal style by unlocking the power of you. During a style analysis, I'll empower you to seamlessly combine your inner self with your outward appearance, so you can step out into the world radiating confidence as your authentic self.
We consider your proportions, personality, and preferences to give you a style framework - we call this a “Clothing Personality."
You will confidently know which fabrics, prints, patterns, accessories, necklines, details, and silhouettes flatter your unique body architecture best. By integrating your personality into this framework, our style analysis transcends mere fashion guidance, going a step further to help you identify how you feel in different styles and pieces, ensuring that your wardrobe not only reflects your style but also represents your individuality.
For this appointment, you’ll bring 5–10 items from your closet that you LOVE and 5–10 that make you wonder why you don’t feel good when putting them on. Together, we’ll use this information to help you discover why you gravitated toward and loved certain pieces and what it is about the others that weren’t working for you, saving you time and money in the future! At House of Colour, we believe clothing needs to be adjusted to you, not the other way around. It is our goal to make sure you feel your most confident as who you are and how you look right now.
You’ll leave with a book with detailed information specific to you that we’ll fill out during the appointment and a Clothing Personality card with keywords that will help guide you when shopping. If you’ve already had a colour analysis, this card can be inserted into your fan which will make shopping easy and efficient!
Advanced Colour Analysis
-

View TestimonialA wonderful experience having the opportunity to spend a morning focussing on some much needed me time in a lovely and relaxing setting. Louise immediately put me at ease, explained the process and then with her unique flair and enthusiasm we went through an interesting and fun process to determine my season and the colours for my future capsule wardrobe! I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and have since enjoyed doing my homework and exploring different colours I would normally have avoided when out at the shops! Thanks so much Louise for your time and knowledge, I would highly recommend the experience to anyone who feels they need a much needed lift.

View TestimonialWhat a fabulous day my sister and I spent with Lou. From the moment we arrived, the hospitality began. To have someone so passionate about what they do was a breath of fresh air. Lou’s enthusiasm was quite contagious! For 30 years I’d assumed I was Autumn. Oh, how wrong was I. After a day of laughs, chat, food and loads of Colour, the big reveal……. I’m Winter!
I seriously advise everyone to get this done. Not only do you leave feeling happy, you leave with a new found knowledge.
Hats off to Lou. She’s a wonderful lady who knows her trade and craft. Get booking now and I can wholeheartedly say, you won’t regret it!

View TestimonialFirstly, Louise should be prescribed free on the NHS - her energy, joy and zest for life are a real pick-me-up. She made me feel completely at ease and explained the science behind the colours and seasons perfectly. It really is fascinating. But, best of all is when I saw for myself which season was right for me, and then the incredible feeling when I discovered my WOW colours (there were quite a few!). Louise was just as excited as I was. Also, I never thought I would wear a magenta lipstick, but I loved it! Anyone dithering about whether to do it or not - go for it! It is fascinating, inspiring, intriguing, eye-opening and great fun. I have already rooted out all the wrong colours from my wardrobe and can't wait to start putting my Winter outfits together. Thank you so much Louise and House of Colour. You have inspired me to live a more colourful life.

View TestimonialI've had the pleasure of doing both a Colour and a Style session with Louise and both were fantastic!! It's very rare for me to take some time for myself and I was a little apprehensive about the process. Louise is warm, friendly and is really keen for her clients to get the most out of their time in the studio.
A couple of months on and I now love shopping for myself (and I never thought I would say that). Louise was able to give me guidelines to make the most of my colouring and figure and it's really easy to see at a glance what items are right for me. Not only that, but since my session Louise has kept in touch sending photos of items she's seen and giving her opinion on what I've found. I'm still a long way from my ideal capsule wardrobe but I'm really enjoying the process.

After speaking to Louise I was taken by her enthusiasm & passion & booked my colour analysis session. I thoroughly enjoyed finding out about my tone (cool) & colour season (dark summer) & seeing the difference my WOW colours made. Following on from this I recently attended the style session, Louise was very patient answering all my questions & giving advice re clothing styles which best suit my personality & body shape. For anyone else considering colour & style analysis I thoroughly recommend you contact Louise.

View TestimonialMy sister and I shared what turned out to be a joyful and exciting experience with Louise when we had a Colour and Style Analysis. She was friendly, positive, open and direct, giving out a lot of energy and enthusiasm which was very easy to respond to. Although there was a lot to take in, the atmosphere was very relaxed and inspirational. Both days were a delight and gave us so much information to take us forward to a much greater understanding of both colour and style. It's obviously a process, which will take time but one which we're both committed to. It became really clear that with individual learned knowledge of ourselves and what suits us, leads to greater confidence in shopping choices and ultimately looking and feeling more comfortable in our own skin. I am optimistic and reassured for the way ahead, knowing that backup and support is also on offer when needed. All in all, a very special experience which I would recommend you treat yourself to.

View TestimonialMy wife had her colours done before I met her, and she always looked great (and shopped quickly). Our daughter was analysed 6 months ago - she carried herself well before, but has since transformed herself to another level.
It was a conversation with a friend who was thinking of persuading her male partner that persuaded me. And, turns out my work shirts have been undermining my appearance of health these last 20 years. That's worth knowing.
Louise was great at explaining what she was doing, the whole thing was a great way to spend a morning, in a lovely environment too.
I've come home and cleared half a wardrobe, and placed two online orders, all before bedtime.
Louise is Highly Recommended.

View TestimonialI had a fantastic day ! Louise is infectious in her love of colour and she is very good at what she does . She wants to inspire her clients with her own colour journey and she clearly enjoys the whole process from start to finish . I am so glad I took the plunge and feel very fortunate that I chose Louise because she exceeded my expectations ! She also taught me all about colour and seasons so that I came away with an understanding of my season and subtype so that I can begin my own colour journey . She has introduced me to the Look book too and she is helping me with that. I’d heard about it , but thought I’d never be able to manage something like that . Her help with makeup to suit my season was excellent too and she has introduced me to new lip colours for example that I would never have tried as I tend to play safe . The quality and pricing of the products is very good. The lipsticks are a really lovely formula so I shall be buying more ! Delighted with the HoC colour analysis and with Louise - I now feel so empowered - thank you . Will book the style one next!

View TestimonialWell what can I say...having my colours done by Louise last year, has changed my life! Sounds dramatic, nope, it's true. I had spent a long time considering booking, I'm just your average woman, average job, don't live an extravagant lifestyle, surely this sort of thing is meant for celebs or powerful business men and women, not me? Also it is an expense, could I really justify spending so much money on myself...to be told my best colours, will it make that much difference to me...YES, YES, YES!
I have way more confidence in myself now. I know the colours I wear in clothing and make up are the best for ME! Blue is blue right...wrong, red is red...wrong, green is green, you guessed it...nope. With a world of shades to choose from it can be so hard to pick, not anymore. Now I know my perfect blue, perfect red and perfect green, my three favourites at the moment. Shopping is SO much easier, quicker, and fun! I carry my colour fan whenever I'm in town, I can now walk through shops and instantly spot MY best colours, it's a joy!
It was a bit of a thought, having to replace my wardrobe, I don't have a huge budget, but I didn't have to worry. Just a few new purchases as well as Preloved clothing and jewellery now takes pride of place, deciding what to wear takes seconds now, not minutes, or hours, no longer do I have piles of clothes on the bed that just don't feel right. I find myself just randomly opening my wardrobe now and smiling, it's so pretty and colourful and I actually wear ALL of my clothes!
If you're thinking, is this for me...go for it, it's worth every penny, I only wish I'd done it sooner, I'd have saved so much money, time and dodgy outfits!
I am currently saving to have my style done as this goes hand in hand with colour, I can't wait to find out MY style and look even better than I do now!
Oh and best of all Louise is one of the loveliest, friendliest people I've met, she's a joy to be around, her passion shines so bright, her positivity is contagious, I'm so pleased to have her as my colour and hopefully soon, style guru.

View TestimonialLouise was brilliant and so very friendly, she made me feel right at ease as soon as I came in the door. I’ve always struggled to see what colours work well with me (usually I’m just looking at the colour to see if I like it), however after this session I can very clearly see the difference in myself. I would 100% recommend the colour analysis session with Louise for anyone that is having any doubt or is in a bit of a rut with their wardrobe like I was, it was so much fun chatting away and seeing the results for myself in real time.

Hi, I'm Wendy. an award winning Colour, Style and Image Consultant. Based in Olney, Buckinghamshire, and working with clients across Bedford and Milton Keynes.
A bit about me...
Like many of my clients, I didn’t always feel confident in my clothes and I started my House of Colour journey when I was asking myself the same questions that you might be asking yourself right now:

My Services
I OFFER A FULL RANGE OF SERVICES FOR ALL AGES AND GENDERS
Colour Analysis
-
Transform getting dressed everyday into an effortless and joyful experience with our life-changing colour analysis.
Through precision-dyed drapes and my expert training, I provide you with invaluable insights of knowing your season; a palette of colours customised to your unique undertones. Our approach is inclusive, serving people of all ages, races, ethnicities, and genders, ensuring that your season remains a timeless guide throughout your life.
Experience the three essential components of our colour sessions:
First is our world-class, scientific draping process that we have refined for excellence and accuracy over the past four decades. Next, I will provide advice on jewellery, watches, glasses, and, when applicable, hair and makeup based on your season. Our makeup eliminates the guesswork, enhancing your natural beauty with colours perfectly suited to you. Finally, we’ll dive further into your season as we identify the best colours for both your casual and professional life, uncovering your collection of WOW colours.
You will leave your appointment equipped with a fan of your seasonal swatches and a tailored brochure filled with personalised tips and reminders specific to you, empowering you to confidently shop for and wear your new colours!
For optimal accuracy, arrive at your analysis without spray tans or makeup. Your privacy is paramount, so no photos will be taken or shared on social media without your consent.
Style Analysis
-
Discover the science and psychology behind personal style by unlocking the power of you. During a style analysis, I'll empower you to seamlessly combine your inner self with your outward appearance, so you can step out into the world radiating confidence as your authentic self.
We consider your proportions, personality, and preferences to give you a style framework - we call this a “Clothing Personality."
You will confidently know which fabrics, prints, patterns, accessories, necklines, details, and silhouettes flatter your unique body architecture best. By integrating your personality into this framework, our style analysis transcends mere fashion guidance, going a step further to help you identify how you feel in different styles and pieces, ensuring that your wardrobe not only reflects your style but also represents your individuality.
For this appointment, you’ll bring 5–10 items from your closet that you LOVE and 5–10 that make you wonder why you don’t feel good when putting them on. Together, we’ll use this information to help you discover why you gravitated toward and loved certain pieces and what it is about the others that weren’t working for you, saving you time and money in the future! At House of Colour, we believe clothing needs to be adjusted to you, not the other way around. It is our goal to make sure you feel your most confident as who you are and how you look right now.
You’ll leave with a book with detailed information specific to you that we’ll fill out during the appointment and a Clothing Personality card with keywords that will help guide you when shopping. If you’ve already had a colour analysis, this card can be inserted into your fan which will make shopping easy and efficient!
Advanced Colour Analysis
-
This appointment is ideal for those seeking to refresh or delve deeper into their seasonal palette. Together, we’ll discover your best neutrals and explore an array of colour combinations, empowering you to curate a capsule wardrobe that brings joy with every wear.
Experience tailored makeup recommendations, including your perfect lip colours, and receive expert advice on hair shades that perfectly harmonise with your palette.
You’ll also unlock the full potential of MyHOCLookBook as we guide you through organizing your wardrobe, identifying styling gaps, and igniting inspiration to experiment with new pieces.
Wardrobe Edit
-
This appointment is designed to apply all the knowledge you gained in your colour and/or style analysis and appointment and apply it to your own wardrobe. Together, we'll filter through the pieces you don’t wear so you can donate or resell them, keeping your closet free from clutter so you can better mix and match pieces in your wardrobe to create more looks with fewer items.
This process liberates your closet from clutter, empowering you to effortlessly mix and match pieces to unlock endless styling possibilities with fewer items.
Personal Shopping
-
My House of Colour personal shopping service will make finding new clothing, shoes, jewellery and accessories hassle-free. As your personal stylist, I will be offering you my time, via this service, as your very own personal shopper. You can personalise how I use this time so that it is completely tailored to your objectives and desires.
Whether you are looking for the perfect outfit for a special event, refreshing your wardrobe for the latest season, or just want expert guidance on how to continue looking your best, my personal shopping services are shaped around you and your goals.
There are a number of ways for you to personalise our House of Colour personal shopping service, for example:
- We can shop together in person
- I can conduct online personal shopping for you, buying items that I know work with your unique features, characteristics and personality
- I can undertake online personal shopping for you, saving items I believe would illuminate you and you can browse and buy at your own pace later.
Let me help you get to clothes you love faster, easier and with my expert guidance, so you can wear what fits, what flatters, and what feels like you with ease.

View TestimonialHaving had my colours done approx 20 years ago I decided it’d be a perfect experience to gift my daughter. The two of us spent the morning with Wendy who did my daughter’s colour analysis and a refresh of my WOW colours for me.
Wendy is such a brilliant consultant, she made the whole experience enjoyable, informative, interesting, fun and we all got to know each other so well throughout the session that when we left, we felt like we’d known Wendy for years.
Wendy put us at ease as soon as we stepped through the door and made us feel like a million dollars by the time we’d left. The colour analysis session left my daughter and I feeling more confident and excited to put all the knowledge we gained from Wendy to use. Make up tips were very useful too and a perfect addition to compliment our season colour palette.
My daughter (age 27years) never knew what colours really suited her so always defaulted to wearing black clothes.
Now we both know what season colour palette we are, we are excited to go shopping together knowing that our next clothing purchases are going to be in colours that compliment us and make us feel good in.
We highly recommend booking a colour analysis with Wendy to everyone!
It’ll change your life.
You won’t regret it!
Thank you Wendy

I am not an obvious season and have been told I am each of the four seasons over the years so I was excited and nervous but Wendy put me at ease. What she said made total sense and I’m already feeling fabulous and finally understanding how a coordinated wardrobe works, having basically worn mostly the wrong colours all my life. I only wish I’d had it done sooner and I recommend Wendy to anyone.

View TestimonialI think lots of us can relate to saying 'I have nothing to wear on a daily basis' when we have a whole wardrobe full of clothes! That is what I wanted Wendy to help me with - to shop my own wardrobe and create clothing combinations from what I already had based on what I wanted to look like.
Wendy did just that; overhauled my wardrobe sorted it out, put together probably hundreds of combinations for me without me having to buy anything new. She also explained concepts which has meant I can then apply that same framework going forward,
I feel so much more together and organised plus haven't had to buy anything new at all. That is a big win in my book plus I don't have to listen to my own moaning everyday!
You are very good at what you do Wendy, thank you SO much!

The secrets of buying and wearing accessories. Using key pieces to make a style statement thats entirely your own. For mid-week style sessions, we then pop along to Westfield for an a hour or so (not to actually buy anything!) to see in action what to look for when shopping and just as importantly what to avoid.

I really love to help clients utilise what you already have and think about different ways to wear items. Well make a record of any new outfits and create a list of missing items as we go.
Shopping tell me what's missing from your existing wardrobe, or we can work it out together, and I'll shop to fill the gaps for you online or we can shop together. Clients find this is a real shopper-confidence boost as we try things you might have dismissed previously or I introduce you to different brands.

View TestimonialHad a fantastic experience at the Make-Up Masterclass organised by Sandy. It was a very relaxed, but informative session, with a small group of lovely ladies. I found the right colours for my basic items without having that feeling of being overwhelmed at retail beauty/makeup counters, then learned how to do a basic everyday look and how to develop this further depending on the occasion. The products were lovely and priced very reasonably. A must for anyone stuck in make-up!

View TestimonialI had a in depth in person colour analysis with Sandy. It was life changing! Not only did Sandy take the time to ascertain what season I was, she also went the extra mile to suggest what jewellery tone, hair colour and make up would suit me. I came away with confidence, a colour swatch and such a clear idea of what season I was (jewel winter)! I’ve already started wearing my wow colours (see me in the blue dress!) and I’ve recorded so many compliments but not only that, I feel good inside!! I highly recommend Sandy’s services. Thank you Sandy

View TestimonialExtremely happy: I visited Sandy two times (Colour and Style consultations) with my daughter, going to visit next week with my friend and plan to invite my uni friend during my next trip to UK.
Highly recommended to everyone. Colours and style are unique and make you shine: the earlier you find it out the better. I regret I bought some expensive pieces of my wardrobe not knowing my best colours and happy for my daughter for not doing the same mistakes. We enjoy now to find the right pieces, it really changes life and shopping experience. Next week I'm bringing my friend to Sandy and I plan to bring another one. It's an unforgettable time! I think this is the best recommendation. Sandy, you are the best and thank you very much. Natalia

Sandy tells you what you need to hear not what you want to hear, but does so in a professional and kind way. She instills confidence within you just through conversation, she is like you fashion friend/sister. Her knowledge has completely transformed how I see myself for the better and has been available to advise and guide on new purchases since our meetings. I look forward to further sessions in the future with Sandy when I will need her styling knowledge and guidance when the self-doubt creeps in. If you're on the fence about booking, dont be, just book

View TestimonialThe best investment you can make in yourself...I spent a couple of days with Sandy for a colour consultation and a style consultation and learnt so much about myself. Over two days she have given me my colour palette, an understanding of what clothes fit my body shape and has defined my style down to a tee. Whilst I was unsure whether her approach would encroach on my personality I am thrilled to say it has done the opposite and I feel more bolder with who I am and how I can communicate that in my appearence.
I've left with so much energy to clear out the piles of clothes and invest in some new pieces that will suit me. Thank you Sandy!

View TestimonialAs part of a birthday weekend treat I, my daughter and granddaughter went to Sandy for a colour consultation. Wow what a treat and what an experience. I am in my eighties and consulting with Sandy has given me a completely different way of thinking about what I should buy and wear. The make up part of the day I expected to be as I have experienced before. Heavy layers of make up and a result only appropriate for me when going somewhere posh. But the make up approach Sandy demonstrates leaves you with a look for everyday use. Easy and quick to apply and suitable for all occasions. I thoroughly recommend treating yourself to this relaxing experience.

View TestimonialI really enjoyed the color analysis session with Sandy, the entire afternoon was relaxing and fun. She is so kind and energetic—qualities that truly make her stand out.
First, she asked me to remove my makeup to see my natural skin tone. Then, she took the time to test different colors on me, one by one, to find which colors suit me. She also taught me how to do color matching, including which makeup shades, jewellery colors, and glasses shapes and colors would work best for me.
She is incredibly professional. I wish I had done this sooner.
now I'm excited to replace my black and white wardrobe with my Autumn colors.
Thank you, Sandy, for sharing your passion and opening my eyes. I cannot recommend her more highly.

View TestimonialSandy is one of a kind! Her ability to listen, to look and to connect you with your true style is amazing. I also love the fact that Sandy thinks about clothes beyond just buying brand new so suggests ways to adapt the ones you have through sewing or dying as well as wearing them differently in order to capture your unique style. Shopping with Sandy was really helpful and I would totally recommend this as well - I now have more confidence with brands I hadnt thought about before! However, maybe the best part about working with Sandy is that she makes style fun and playful while recognising that sartorial affairs are often quite serious business.

Her welcoming approach and enthusiasm/passion for finding your best colours, made both me and my mum so comfortable and excited for the results.
Sandy spent time talking us through the methods of colour theory and answering our many questions along the way. We then each went through the process of identifying our season, trying different make up and finally understanding our wow colours. As someone afraid to wear lipstick - the session has led me to wearing it everyday since!!

Sandy is a true expert and very passionate not only about colours, but also about style. She uses a scientific approach and she’s not the one who dictates the best colours - it’s the colours themselves, when paired with the person’s undertone, that reveal the “verdict”.
Sandy is kind, energetic, and immediately put me at ease. I will definitely go back to her for a style consultation.

Then there was a huge amount of helpful advice not only about our colours but also how to apply what we learnt when we got home and not feeling you've got to immedialtey throw out a lot of what you own. I was so surprised to see colours that i thought would definitely not suit me be my wow colours!
The makeup section was eye-opening trying on lipsticks that i'd never normally consider really transformed my face.
I came home enthused and literally went straight to my wardrobe and make up bag to apply what i'd learnt. I've now got quite a pile of clothes to sell or dye!!
Such a fun way to spend the morning with my friend too - and we both turned out to be Autumn's - so cool in many ways as we can spot clothes for each other, but I'd hoped we could have done a clothes swap 😉 Oh well i'm sure we'll make it up on a shopping trip soon!

View TestimonialMy time with Sandy was like nothing else. I arrived knowing that there was something locked away that was needed to be released, to only find out that it was the “me” before having my two children. My hair has grown very long and always tied back, and my clothing style to aid comfort and very little thought, so I could just throw something on for “one less thing to think about”. I looked and felt old, and looking in the mirror became very hard, even upsetting at times. What I found with Sandy was the “me” that had become lost under layers of “making life easy”. The real me, and I really like her! Now knowing what colours are my colours, and what compliments and allows my personality to shine, has allowed a relationship with clothes, and myself, to change dramatically! I am on vinted every single day, excited to find the next thing that I know will make me look my absolute best. I love getting up in the mornings and putting pieces together, which is now so easy. And I’m doing it for me, rather than just to make life easy. My time with Sandy has been truly transformational, and is a true MUST without question. Sandy was absolutely amazing, and really helped me reconnect with the Hannah who I thought was no more. Magic! I cannot thank her enough

View TestimonialI wanted to say thank you to Sandy for my recent colour update, I really love having a great understanding of my WOW colours.
Sandy also gave me some fantastic ideas as to how I can wear a few items hiding in the back of my wardrobe using the Winter Colours that I usually shy away from.
Also playing around with make-up can have a positive effect on a whole outfit!
A fantastic experience.

View TestimonialI had an amazing colour session with Sandy Lancaster yesterday. She was so kind and patient with me. I started the session feeling shy and thinking that I couldn’t ‘see’ colour properly. She took me through the process step by step, providing lots of information and real life examples of what she meant. Her enthusiasm for all things colour (and the right colour for someone!) shone through and by the end of the session I felt elated! I went in thinking I was one season and came out as a vibrant leafy Autumn. I’m delighted and had a really wonderful experience starting my colour journey! Thank you so much Sandy!

View TestimonialWhat a treat! I’m so glad I did this I loved discovering my colours with Sandy. She’s warm and fun, and has a great creative eye and flair. It really made sense to me. It’s put a spring in my step going shopping. I appreciated the makeup too and I was very happy to swap out some on my old makeup and get some new items from House of Colour. It’s good quality - lovely texture to the (long lasting) lipstick, foundation that’s the perfect colour, ditto blusher that looks very natural. Knowing all the colours in your seasonal selection will suit you takes the uncertainty out of buying new make up. And it’s very well priced for the quality. Highly recommend!

Sandy couldn't be more enthusiastic and charming and she goes through the whole process professionally and painstakingly. The results were far more interesting and useful than I could have imagined and in many ways real eye openers. I would recommend a session to anybody - even a sceptic like me!

View TestimonialSandy is a friendly and knowledgable colour and style expert who walked me through this most enjoyable process step by step via two zoom calls discussing my lifestyle, reviewing my body architecture and providing some suggestions around how I could mix, match and enhance items in my existing wardrobe. There was also advice and input around items and accessories to consider buying in future to enhance my shape and size. Sandy also provided me with links to several shops with specific items that she thought would suit me and they were all spot on! We also discussed wardrobe management and after re-organising my clothes I found hidden items that I had forgotten about. Sandy has helped me to understand how to use colour and clothes/styles that reflect my personality and give me confidence. This was the perfect opportunity and experience to invest in myself and it has undoubtedly saved me money in the long run as I now understand how to maximise cost per wear.

Quash the inner critic with the tools of colour analysis and authentic style. Give yourself every opportunity to look and feel great about yourself.
The power of knowing: Stop guessing, start owning
Change can feel intimidating, but knowing what works and what doesn't is enormously empowering. It saves you crucial time and money by eliminating those costly, impulsive mistakes.
When your clothing truly fits and harmonises, your look feels authentic and intentional. This is the difference between looking average and looking truly great.
No matter your gender, size, age, or stage of life, you deserve to know and embrace YOUR AUTHENTIC SELF in style.
Time for reflection
Do you feel like YOU in your clothes, or does your wardrobe leave you feeling uninspired?
Many of my clients find themselves at a point of reflection, curious about how their personal style intersects with their goals.
Perhaps you've been pausing lately and thinking about practical questions like:
- What colours genuinely suit me and enhance my natural colouring? (This is where colour analysis becomes incredibly insightful.)
- How can I confidently accessorise and pair pieces I already own?
- What styles truly flatter my body shape?
- How do I ensure my clothes project a strong professional image that aligns with my career goals?
Why my personal journey matters
Consultations here in York are 100% focused on you. I understand that taking this step can feel vulnerable, so should it help you feel more comfortable, here is a little about my own experience with House of Colour's process.
From uninspired to empowered.
I used to have that wardrobe in desperate need of inspiration. Honestly, it often exacerbated how I felt on the inside, boring, lacking energy, and not worth the effort. It was a vicious cycle; when I wanted to feel good, I didn't even know where to begin!
Discovering my colours instantly lifted me. I still remember getting a genuine compliment from a guy at the pub (I was wearing the first top I purchased post-colour consultation), and for the first time, I felt truly deserving of it. That moment helped me realise and validate the message: I deserve to look and feel good.
Finding me again.
Later, I found my style knowledge was missing. I had spent so long dressing to hide that I had forgotten what dressing like me even looked like.
My style consultation with House of Colour was the turning point. I discovered how to dress my body shape, but more profoundly, I found the clothing details that gave me that elusive "good feeling." The process was spot on, it helped me find and evolve that inner confidence that had gotten a little lost.
Where I Am now.
My wardrobe of colourful clothes makes me happy. I now walk out my front door more confident, believing the compliments I receive, and, most importantly, the compliments I now give myself. Change is a hard and emotional journey, but it is also amazing.

Colour Analysis
-
Transform getting dressed everyday into an effortless and joyful experience with our life-changing colour analysis.
Through precision-dyed drapes and my expert training, I provide you with invaluable insights of knowing your season; a palette of colours customised to your unique undertones. Our approach is inclusive, serving people of all ages, races, ethnicities, and genders, ensuring that your season remains a timeless guide throughout your life.
Experience the three essential components of our colour sessions:
First is our world-class, scientific draping process that we have refined for excellence and accuracy over the past four decades. Next, I will provide advice on jewellery, watches, glasses, and, when applicable, hair and makeup based on your season. Our makeup eliminates the guesswork, enhancing your natural beauty with colours perfectly suited to you. Finally, we’ll dive further into your season as we identify the best colours for both your casual and professional life, uncovering your collection of WOW colours.
You will leave your appointment equipped with a fan of your seasonal swatches and a tailored brochure filled with personalised tips and reminders specific to you, empowering you to confidently shop for and wear your new colours!
For optimal accuracy, arrive at your analysis without spray tans or makeup. Your privacy is paramount, so no photos will be taken or shared on social media without your consent.
One-to-one Colour Analysis Consultations with House of Colour York are £260 (weekday) or £280 (weekend).
Group consultations are £220 (weekday) or £240 (weekend).
Style Analysis
-
Discover the science and psychology behind personal style by unlocking the power of you. During a style analysis, I'll empower you to seamlessly combine your inner self with your outward appearance, so you can step out into the world radiating confidence as your authentic self.
We consider your proportions, personality, and preferences to give you a style framework - we call this a “Clothing Personality."
You will confidently know which fabrics, prints, patterns, accessories, necklines, details, and silhouettes flatter your unique body architecture best. By integrating your personality into this framework, our style analysis transcends mere fashion guidance, going a step further to help you identify how you feel in different styles and pieces, ensuring that your wardrobe not only reflects your style but also represents your individuality.
For this appointment, you’ll bring 5–10 items from your closet that you LOVE and 5–10 that make you wonder why you don’t feel good when putting them on. Together, we’ll use this information to help you discover why you gravitated toward and loved certain pieces and what it is about the others that weren’t working for you, saving you time and money in the future! At House of Colour, we believe clothing needs to be adjusted to you, not the other way around. It is our goal to make sure you feel your most confident as who you are and how you look right now.
You’ll leave with a book with detailed information specific to you that we’ll fill out during the appointment and a Clothing Personality card with keywords that will help guide you when shopping. If you’ve already had a colour analysis, this card can be inserted into your fan which will make shopping easy and efficient!
One-to-one Personal Styling Consultations with House of Colour York are £375.

Advanced Colour Analysis
-
This appointment is ideal for those seeking to refresh or delve deeper into their seasonal palette. Together, we’ll discover your best neutrals and explore an array of colour combinations, empowering you to curate a capsule wardrobe that brings joy with every wear.
Experience tailored makeup recommendations, including your perfect lip colours, and receive expert advice on hair shades that perfectly harmonise with your palette.
You’ll also unlock the full potential of MyHOCLookBook as we guide you through organizing your wardrobe, identifying styling gaps, and igniting inspiration to experiment with new pieces.
Advanced Colour appointments with House of Colour York are £200 (weekday) or £220 (weekend).
Wardrobe Edit
-
This appointment is designed to apply all the knowledge you gained in your colour and/or style analysis and appointment and apply it to your own wardrobe. Together, we'll filter through the pieces you don’t wear so you can donate or resell them, keeping your closet free from clutter so you can better mix and match pieces in your wardrobe to create more looks with fewer items.
This process liberates your closet from clutter, empowering you to effortlessly mix and match pieces to unlock endless styling possibilities with fewer items.
Wardrobe Edits are priced in a bespoke, tailored manner based on hours needed (£80 per hour; minimum of two hours usually required) and if any travel is required.

View TestimonialAfter year of boring grey, white, navy and black I went to see Lizi for some help with injecting some colour into my wardrobe. She was so patient and knowledgable and the time flew by; the whole process was fascinating. I watched as colours warmed my face and lit it up whilst others drained it. I came away with renewed enthusiasm for shopping with colour rather than dreading it and a new set of make up that compliments my colouring. I feel like I have come alive and every day I wear a bright colour now I find it really enhances my mood. Lizi is excellent and I have already recommended her to others and shall continue to do so. Thanks Lizi.

View TestimonialI've been pondering having a colour consultation for a little while, so after a friend recommended Lizi I got in touch. After an initial telephone call to get an idea of my needs, I was looking forward to the consultation itself. On the day, Lizi welcomed me to her studio and I was completely at ease. The process of establishing my colours was fascinating; I couldn't believe the difference that each colour cape brought to my skin and eyes! Throughout, Lizi was focused but warm and friendly. The makeup matching was brilliant and for the first time I feel confident applying it. Learning what clothing colours suit my complexion, and how my appearance and presence can change with that was really interesting. Coming home with that knowledge, I was able to begin putting it into action straight away. I still need to really analyse my wardrobe and weed out the rogue colours, but I can choose outfits more confidently, and am looking forward to taking Lizi's expertise further.

View TestimonialI went to Lizi Green’s beautiful bright studio recently for a colours update and to buy some glasses from the iGreen glasses range. I was so pleased with the way she took me through things so clearly and thoughtfully. I felt she was really looking at me as an individual and helping me bring out the best in my personality as well as my skin, hair and eye colour. It was a great reminder of how to make my colours work just for me to my best advantage. Lizi gave me lots of ideas and encouraged me to make more of my palette. We also looked at my make up for a quick refresh and another reminder of how the right shades and tones work best without looking too made up. The iGreen glasses were fun to try on and Lizi has a good range of colours and styles. She helped me choose some that go with my colours, give my face a lift and most of all make me smile when I put them on. They compliment everything I wear now. Thank you Lizi for reminding me how to make the most of myself.

Lizi was patient, friendly and knowledgeable and the consultation was enjoyable and enlightening. I love my new makeup and now wear colours from my spring palette and am looking forward to the arrival of my new glasses which Lizi also helped me with. It is an ongoing process and eventually I will replace the clothes I kept which are not part of my palette, which I'm avoiding anyway. Lizi has also given me useful information and advice and I thoroughly recommend her. Thank you Lizi.

Lizi gave me extensive help with my colours after my consultant retired ~ all 'pro bono' on line throughout lockdown!
Loads of fab info and advice, it really gave me the confidence to dive in and embrace my summer palette. So much so that I booked an online style session (or three!)
These sessions felt like therapy, a chance to talk about me and to reconnect with the PRE mummy/grownup person that I had sort of forgotten about!
Lizi reminded me how to be the fun/ girly/ slightly 'out there' person that I had sort of left somewhere... and all done by science and understanding my personality!
It is still a process but I am loving every bit of it, also knowing that Lizi is always there for expert advice.
Along with marriage and kids - this experience can only be described as 'life changing!'
If you are thinking about colours or style with Lizi - don't hesitate - DO IT, it you deserve it!!

"I had an amazing day with Kelly - she was kind, friendly, and clearly very knowledgeable when it came to how to understand which colour season worked best, and going through the style session. I liked that for the style session, she took a more holistic approach and was really attentive to some of the thoughts I had on my personal style and how these worked together, and helped suggest different ideas which were both items or styles I would gravitate to, as well as those that might stretch me a bit but offer a nice change to my wardrobe. The colours analysis was really interesting and I feel excited and confident in approaching shopping with my new palette- thank you so much Kelly!" Tanya
"I recently had a Colour Analysis with Kelly. She is clearly a master of her craft and answered all of my questions! I really felt like I was in safe hands throughout the whole process. The analysis felt thorough and Kelly was really considerate of my style and made tips on how colour can relate to style choices. Her suggestions in the HOCLookBook so far have all been fantastic.

FAQs
Do I need to replace my whole wardrobe?
Not at all. You’ll learn how to use what you already own and gradually add new pieces.
Can I do this if I’ve dyed my hair or gone grey?
Yes – your natural undertone doesn’t change, so your palette remains relevant.
What if my favourite colours aren’t in my palette?
In every palette there are blues, greens, reds, yellows and plenty of neutrals. There’s always flexibility – I’ll show you how to adapt and make colours work for you.
Do you offer online services?
For style analysis, yes it is possible to carry out a session virtually so we can link up from anywhere in the world. For colour analysis, the answer is no. Our process is thorough, based in science and only carried out in natural daylight. Our sessions last 2.5 hours and give you a thorough introduction to colour, a detailed analysis of your undertone, a makeup demonstration and identify your 'wow' colours. It is an unforgettable experience!
What payment methods do you have?

Discover the science and psychology behind personal style by unlocking the power of you. During a style analysis, I'll empower you to seamlessly combine your inner self with your outward appearance, so you can step out into the world radiating confidence as your authentic self.
We consider your proportions, personality, and preferences to give you a style framework - we call this a “Clothing Personality."

By integrating your personality into this framework, our style analysis transcends mere fashion guidance, going a step further to help you identify how you feel in different styles and pieces, ensuring that your wardrobe not only reflects your style but also represents your individuality.
For this appointment, you’ll bring 5–10 items from your closet that you LOVE and 5–10 that make you wonder why you don’t feel good when putting them on. Together, we’ll use this information to help you discover why you gravitated toward and loved certain pieces and what it is about the others that weren’t working for you, saving you time and money in the future! At House of Colour, we believe clothing needs to be adjusted to you, not the other way around. It is our goal to make sure you feel your most confident as who you are and how you look right now.
You’ll leave with a book with detailed information specific to you that we’ll fill out during the appointment and a Clothing Personality card with keywords that will help guide you when shopping. If you’ve already had a colour analysis, this card can be inserted into your fan which will make shopping easy and efficient!

View TestimonialHaving my colours done, ‘analysed’, by Kelly was one of my most magical experiences! 😊✨ The session was so gentle and insightful and I left feeling inspired and lifted (a feeling that’s especially powerful as I’m quite a timid person who often struggles to dress myself in things that brighten me). Something that is really special too is that I now have a fan of my colours and the support of Kelly moving forwards in finding my style! If you are thinking about getting your colours done, or employing the help of a stylist (Kelly), please do - Kelly is amazing and the session(s) will be so, so worth it!

The cold drinks and tasty treats were delicious thank you. I now feel inspired to sort out my wardrobe, go shopping and learn more about the make-up I should be using too.

View TestimonialI received the colours, style and makeup session as a gift, and had an amazing day with Kelly - she was kind, friendly, and clearly very knowledgeable. The colours analysis was really interesting, and left me feeling a lot more confident on how I could try to incorporate bolder colours into my wardrobe, seeing the difference it could make to the way my skin and eyes looked! With the style session, I felt I already had an idea of what I enjoyed wearing, but working through the different styles with Kelly was really eye-opening on identifying how my wardrobe fits into these. I liked that she took a more holistic approach with this, and was really attentive to some of the thoughts I had on my personal style and how these worked together. She helped suggest different ideas of things I could try to suit my body shape and style, which were things I would gravitate to, as well as those that might stretch me a bit but offer a nice change to my wardrobe. I left feeling excited and confident in approaching shopping with my new palette and ideas of style- thank you so much Kelly! Would definitely recommend either session to anyone!

View TestimonialI recently had the most wonderful shopping experience with Kelly.
Kelly has a wealth of knowledge when it comes to colours, brands, fabrics, and overall quality. What I admired most was Kelly's ability to introduce me to pieces I wouldn't typically consider – I've discovered a whole new set of possibilities and combinations that have elevated my wardrobe.
Kelly’s gentle and encouraging manner made the entire shopping experience not only enjoyable but empowering too. Kelly's warmth and enthusiasm made her an absolute joy to shop with. It's clear that she's not just good at what she does; she's exceptional.
I highly recommend Kelly – you'll walk away not only with fantastic finds but also with a newfound confidence in your style. Thank you, Kelly!!

View TestimonialI first had my colours ‘done’ 15 years ago, so this re-rate by Kelly was a good chance to see if the years, and going gray, had changed things! Still an Autumn but it was still really useful to be reminded of the better combinations for me. The make up is great - so useful to get a perfect match in daylight. And access to the colour fan and look book is great too for future shopping. Would totally recommend going to Kelly she makes the whole experience enjoyable & rewarding.

Stylist Links
Hi, I am Linda Lach-Szyrma, your House of Colour consultants for St Albans covering St Albans, Harpenden, Welwyn Garden City, Hatfield, Potters Bar, London Colney, Cuffley & Brookmans Park.
From my studio in St Albans, I run friendly colour analysis, personal style and skincare/make-up classes to support both women & men to become ‘better versions of themselves’. I provide the practical advice and skills needed to think differently about how we present ourselves on the out-side so it reflects more of who we are on the inside.
Being ‘seen’ and ‘visible’ isn’t just important in building our own confidence, it also role-models the right behaviours needed for the next generation to get ahead in life too.
We do this by teaching you to become your own Personal Stylist in three steps:
· Colour Class: Discover which colours ‘bring you to life’ and ‘put you into focus’. I'll do this in your Colour Analysis Class: 4-5hr sessions of up to 2 people (often friends/family/colleagues enjoying a shared experience) or on your own on a 1:1 basis (c.2 ½hrs). Please scroll down for prices or read more about our Colour Consultations here - all include a personalised colour booklet and colour wallet.
· Style Class: Understand the best clothing styles to suit your body shape and personality. This happens in our Style Classes: 5hr sessions of up to 2 people or on your own on a 1:1 basis (c. 4 hrs). Please scroll down for prices or read more about our Style Classes here. With the skills you learn you’ll start enjoying successful shopping trips, feeling slimmer/younger and more confident in your own skin. At last, you’ll find choosing what to wear a pleasure every day.
· Make-up Class: Help you establish a long-term nourishing skincare routine and learn quick and easy techniques to applying make-up that suits you. This happens in our Make-up Classes: 3hr sessions of up to 2 people or on your own on a 1:1 basis (c. 2hrs). Please scroll down for prices or read more about our Skincare & Make-up Classes here.
If you are in a hurry, you can also choose to complete these three stages in one day in an exclusive 1:1 class, or a popular choice is to book all three steps together (taking each class separately),
I also offer personal shopping trips, wardrobe reviews and colour reviews (for those who have had their colours analysed in the past).
Whichever way you decide to make your journey with House of Colour, you’ll start walking taller and receiving confidence boosting compliments just by becoming more visible right away. Whether it’s in your career, personal life or at home. By learning more about who you are and how you can translate it on the outside, you will feel empowered to achieve more and believe in yourself more than ever before. You will have wished you’d done it sooner!
2023 Prices for 1:1 sessions are:
- Colour Analysis - £265
- Style Session - £365
- Make up Session - £100 (with £20 free make up included)
- The Complete Package - £690 (discount of £40 when purchased together plus £20 free make up)
- Colour & Style - £605 (discount of £25 when booked together)
- Colour Rerate - £120 (wallet not included)
Why not contact me to discuss your requirements? If you want to bring a friend along, I can share the group prices with you.

Struggling to feel confident in your appearance? Unsure how to dress in a way that truly reflects who you are and how you want to be seen?
You’re in the right place. I’d love to help. Let’s have a chat.
If you’re looking for professional colour and style analysis in Salisbury, you’re in the right place.
I’m an award-winning House of Colour stylist, now in my seventh year, with consistent 5-star Google reviews from women who want to feel confident, comfortable, and truly themselves in what they wear. My welcoming home studio is located just a stone's throw from the heart of the beautiful city of Salisbury.
The best place to start is with a Curiosity Call — a relaxed, no-pressure conversation where we explore what you’d like to achieve and I can recommend the most suitable service for you.
Book your Curiosity Call here: calendly.com/lindsaywest
If you’d like to know more about my journey and approach, scroll down to read My Story.
The services I offer include:
COLOUR ANALYSIS – The essential first step, where we discover the colours that truly suit your skin tone. You’ll learn how to recognise your most flattering shades and how to wear them with confidence every day. I’ll recommend makeup colours that harmonise beautifully with your palette, and you’ll take home a fabric swatch fan of your seasonal colours along with a personalised guide showing you exactly how to use them. The confidence that comes from knowing your colours really is life-changing.
£265 for a 1:1 session, £200 per person when booked with a friend
STYLE ANALYSIS - Discover the styles, shapes, scale, and lengths that flatter your body shape and reflect your personality. This in-depth session gives you the confidence to dress with intention, so you look and feel amazing every day — without second-guessing your choices.
£365 for an individual session (5 hours) or £300 per person when booked with a friend (7 hours)
MAKEUP TUTORIAL - Using House of Colour makeup, I’ll help you choose the right products for your skin and show you how to create makeup looks that suit both you and your lifestyle. You’ll gain practical, easy-to-repeat techniques that enhance your natural colouring and work for everyday life.
£100 (1.5 hours)
WARDROBE EDIT - This practical, confidence-boosting appointment brings everything together by applying what you’ve learned in your colour and/or style analysis directly to your own wardrobe. Together, we’ll sort through your clothes, identifying what to keep, tailor, donate, or resell — clearing clutter and creating space for outfits that truly work for you.
By the end of the session, you’ll be able to effortlessly mix and match pieces, create more outfits with fewer items, and enjoy a wardrobe that supports your lifestyle. Sessions are available in person or via Zoom.
£240 (3 hours).
PERSONAL SHOPPING - Personal shopping takes the stress and guesswork out of finding new clothes, shoes, jewellery, and accessories. As your personal stylist, I’ll use our time together entirely around your goals — whether that’s filling wardrobe gaps, refreshing your look, or shopping for a specific occasion.
£80 per hour
COLOUR RERATE - Over time, and particularly as we get older or experience periods of ill health, our skin and hair naturally change. Hair often softens into shades of white, silver, or grey, and subtle shifts can appear in the skin. While your season never changes, the colours that create the greatest WOW near your face can evolve.
A Colour Rerate is recommended every 5–7 years to ensure you’re still wearing the most flattering shades closest to your face. You’ll continue to wear your full seasonal palette — we may simply adjust how you wear certain colours.
During your consultation, I revisit your seasonal palette and re-rate your colours using a three-star system to identify your most impactful shades. We’ll also review your makeup colours, so please feel free to bring along any existing products. Your session includes a new ratings booklet, and if you no longer have your original colour swatch wallet, replacements are available to purchase on the day.
£120 (1.5 hours)
WEDDING STYLING - Wedding styling is about feeling confident, comfortable, and completely yourself on an unforgettable day. I can help you identify the colours that make you look radiant, your perfect white, a dress style that reflects your personality, and a makeup look you feel truly comfortable wearing.
I’m also delighted to support brides, grooms, mothers of the bride or groom, and bridesmaids — whether that’s outfit guidance, colour advice, or makeup application — ensuring everyone looks and feels their best.
GLASSES STYLING - Do you struggle to find glasses that feel interesting, suit your face shape, and work with your colours? Glasses sit in the centre of your communication zone and bring colour directly to your face, so choosing the right frames really matters — especially if you wear them every day. As glasses are a significant investment, getting the perfect pair is important. I’ve partnered with VIP Eyewear, a dispensing optician, to offer a complete service, including high-quality lenses fitted into your chosen frames. Varifocals or single vision, prescription sunglasses, and more — all you need is your prescription.
£30
BRAND PHOTO SHOOT STYLING - When you invest in a brand photo shoot, you’ll be using the images for months, sometimes years, to represent you and your business. I’ll help you select outfits, colours, and styling that truly express the authentic you, removing stress and giving you confidence and peace of mind on the day.
INTERVIEW PREPARATION - Preparing for an interview? I’ll help you create an outfit from your existing wardrobe that is appropriate, professional, and makes the right first impression, so you can walk in feeling confident and prepared.
TALKS - If you’re looking for a guest speaker, I can deliver an engaging talk tailored to your audience on colour analysis, personal style, current fashion trends, sustainable shopping, or the language of clothes. Talks are informative, inspiring, and designed to leave a lasting impact.
MY STORY
I first heard about House of Colour sixteen years ago at a Christmas fair. When the consultant walked into the school hall, she immediately caught my attention. She was the oldest person in the room, yet looked absolutely incredible — and I remember thinking, “I want to look like her.”
Over the following year, I booked my colour and style sessions as birthday and Christmas presents to myself. After my colour analysis, I was completely hooked. At the time, I preferred to blend into the background and avoid being noticed, but my career had stalled and something needed to change. Discovering the colours that suited my skin tone had a profound effect. I began to be noticed and the compliments weren’t about my clothes, but about how well I looked. I had never worn lipstick before, and I was amazed at the difference the right shade made to my whole appearance.
What I discovered next surprised me even more: the colours that truly suit me are bright, clear, and impossible to ignore. I could no longer hide. Wearing the right colours allowed me to present myself with confidence, while learning about my clothing personality was both enlightening and empowering. It gave me the freedom and the confidence to be completely myself.
Welcome to House of Colour Salisbury
My studio is a warm and welcoming retreat — light, calm and thoughtfully designed to help you feel at ease from the moment you arrive. It’s tucked away on the second floor of my home*, just a mile from the centre of Salisbury, with parking on the driveway and a peaceful atmosphere inside.
It has easy access by rail to Romsey, Warminster, Bath, Andover and by road to Shaftesbury, Wilton, Devizes, Amesbury, Fordingbridge etc.
With beautiful natural light and a gentle, unrushed pace, it’s a space where you can relax, breathe, and just be yourself. You’ll be met with kindness, encouragement, and no judgment — whether you're here for a Colour Analysis, Style session, Makeup Workshop or something else entirely.
Clients often tell me they leave not only looking different, but feeling transformed — more confident, more comfortable in their own skin, and with a clearer sense of who they are.
It’s more than just an appointment. It’s your time — to feel seen, heard, and supported every step of the way.
Consultations with me are not just for the day - THEY LAST A LIFETIME!
*Please note that my sessions are run from the second floor of my home. I can move to the ground floor if needed, just let me know in advance and I would be delighted to accommodate you. If you require step-free access, please contact me for options.

Style Analysis
-
Discover the science and psychology behind personal style by unlocking the power of you. During a style analysis, I'll empower you to seamlessly combine your inner self with your outward appearance, so you can step out into the world radiating confidence as your authentic self.
We consider your proportions, personality, and preferences to give you a style framework - we call this a “Clothing Personality."
You will confidently know which fabrics, prints, patterns, accessories, necklines, details, and silhouettes flatter your unique body architecture best. By integrating your personality into this framework, our style analysis transcends mere fashion guidance, going a step further to help you identify how you feel in different styles and pieces, ensuring that your wardrobe not only reflects your style but also represents your individuality.
For this appointment, you’ll bring 5–10 items from your closet that you LOVE and 5–10 that make you wonder why you don’t feel good when putting them on. Together, we’ll use this information to help you discover why you gravitated toward and loved certain pieces and what it is about the others that weren’t working for you, saving you time and money in the future! At House of Colour, we believe clothing needs to be adjusted to you, not the other way around. It is our goal to make sure you feel your most confident as who you are and how you look right now.
You’ll leave with a book with detailed information specific to you that we’ll fill out during the appointment and a Clothing Personality card with keywords that will help guide you when shopping. If you’ve already had a colour analysis, this card can be inserted into your fan which will make shopping easy and efficient!

View TestimonialI thought I knew what colour season I was before going to see Lindsay and it turns out I couldn’t have be more wrong! As Lindsay went through the process, I could see that certain colours just made me light up. I’ve had some struggles with self esteem but watching myself in the mirror as Lindsay found my best colours, I felt really beautiful - like being me was enough with no need to hide or be different.
I’ve now got some pieces in my wardrobe that match my colour palette and that I feel great in - even if my hair is greasy and I’m not wearing makeup! I feel so much more confident starting to wear more colour instead of playing it safe and only wearing neutrals. Lindsay was fantastic and really put me at ease. I couldn’t recommend it enough! It’s well worth the investment.

View TestimonialI left my Style session with Lindsay feeling happy, excited inspired and full of ideas and energy. Lindsay really got to the bottom of why some styles I liked just didn’t suit me and now I understand why my favourite pieces are my favourite pieces. I love the way she was able to fit my body, face type and personality into the styles of the clothes and accessories that will make me look my absolute best. She did this in an easy going and fun but sensitive, structured and clever way. I can’t wait to start exploring the stores for some new, key pieces I’ll love with the confidence that I know exactly where my money will be best invested.

Lindsay was warm, enthusiastic, and being a great communicator she explained everything very clearly, and really cared about getting things right. Not only that, she's a very nice person and a pleasure to spend time with. I feel like I've got my style mojo back thanks to Lindsay, and would thoroughly recommend.

View TestimonialSo grateful & relieved to have found Lindsay, who quickly confirmed my season but then took the time to discover my sub-season, which was a little trickier (Sprinter Winter). She's created a calm and professional environment in her home studio, and after a number of years where health issues have taken priority, it was a little emotional to suddenly see “the real me” in the mirror again. Before the session i thought the cost was a lot to spend on myself in one go, now i feel it was worth every penny for the increased confidence in choosing colours (& in what proportions to wear them) - which will save me from expensive mistakes and sending lots of clothes back. I highly recommend her.

Colour Analysis
Ever wondered why you look great in some colours and not so great in others? During a colour analysis we discover the colours that will make your skin glow and your eyes shine. We will also find your perfect foundation, blusher, mascara, and 3 lipsticks which is known as our "90 second make up look". You go home with a wallet with your colour swatches and a personalised booklet of information.
This session has to be done in person as online colour consultations do not work (we have tried it), the camera does not pick up enough detail, can distort colours and you will likely end up with the wrong result
Style
This is a journey of discovery. Learn how to dress not only your body architecture but your personality too.
We discover the shape and style of clothes that will flatter you the most and accentuate all your good points. It is a very comprehensive session and encompasses every aspect of your wardrobe organisation, your shopping habits and most importantly, your best styles of clothes using your body and face shapes, vertical proportions and your personality. You take home your personalised workbook containing all the information you need to know your best necklines, hemlines, silhouettes, and scale of accessories and patterns. Balance and proportion is only part of personal style - you also learn how to authentically express your personality in how you dress. Discover how to shop sustainably and smarter, so you look and feel fantastic. This session can either be done virtually or in person.
Having completed both your colour and style sessions you will have a wardrobe that gives you maximum versatility where everything works together.
Make Up
Building on your knowledge from the 90 second make up look, we will dive deeper into your own personalised make up looks including daytime and evening looks. This session can either be done virtually or in person.

Wardrobe Reviews
Can't see the wood for the trees? Is your wardrobe more like a museum than your toolkit? Let me help you create your ideal capsule wardrobe and create new outfits from what you already have. This session can either be done virtually or in person.
Sustainable Shoe Wardrobe Reviews
Time to go more in-depth in your Colour and Style journey and discover exactly what you need in your shoe wardrobe? Let me help you create your ideal shoe wardrobe and really understand what works for you, so that you know what to shop for and what to keep from what you already have. This 3 step online programe will help you understand what styles of shoes to choose for your lifestyle and budget and you will be ready to create a shoe wardrove you will love!
Personal Shopping
Feel like you're wandering around the shops in circles or haven't got the will or inclination to trawl through the internet? Let me take the hard work out of shopping for you. Again, this can be done virtually or a personalised shopping trip.
Kid's Colour
It's never too early to know your colours – think of the confidence in knowing the colours that make you look amazing! I can only imagine how much money I (and my parents!) would have saved had I have known my colours earlier. The cost of the session does not include a wallet but this can be purchased separately. This session has to be done in person.
We recommend teens from c.14 years plus should attend an adult session - think self-esteem, proms and first interviews and you won't hesitate. We can help girls get their make up looking natural and professional from the get-go.
Colour Rerate
This is a session we would recommend every 5-10 years. You will never change season but as we age our skin becomes more transparent and our eyes can look duller. In a rerate session we review your season colours, discover if you have new wow colours and ensure you look and feel your best in the colours that make your skin glow and your eyes shine! This session has to be done in person.
Confident Accessorising
Accessories are so important - they can change the look of an outfit in an instant. Learn how to confidently style your accessories for maximum impact. This session can either be done virtually or in person.
Scarf Styling
Never underestimate the importance of a scarf. Big, scarves, small scarves, different ways of styling and tying. A fun session for a group of friends! This session can either be done virtually or in person.
Wedding and Bridal Service
How exciting! SO much to do. Imagine having your whole wedding coloured and styled in a way that presents you at your very best. I can offer you a complete package of sessions tailored to your needs for your special day (and to suit your budget). Colour analysis to find your best “white” as well as your best options for makeup and flowers. Personal styling to ensure your dress will work for your body shape and personality and ensure you feel confident and glowing as you walk down the aisle. I can even accompany you to find your wedding dress. I’ll help ensure the perfect look for your wedding day but you’ll use what you learn every day in the future. I can also do this for other members of the wedding party including the bridesmaids, the groom, mothers and fathers of the bride and groom – making sure your best colours look special on everyone in your bridal party.
A little about me…
I’ve always loved colour and clothes but that doesn’t mean that I always understood what suited me!
As a teenager in the ‘90s I remember the excitement of choosing a mustard top for the school disco – then noticing when my best friend tried it on that she looked vibrant and healthy, but on me I looked tired and had dark shadows under my eyes. As time went on, I wondered why my friends could wear grunge style clothes or brown lipstick and look amazing but somehow they didn’t suit me. I felt like I’d missed out on some secret insider information that would let me know what to wear to look great. I’d read magazines, go shopping and buy things but what I went for never really worked for me…but I still kept looking for some elusive item of clothes or makeup to transform how I looked.
In my early 20s I had my colours analysed with House of Colour and discovered I’m a Summer and I realised why the clothes in my wardrobe didn’t make me feel amazing when I wore them. As a Summer I need clothes that are blue, soft, smoky, and rose and I didn’t have anything like this in my wardrobe!
Shopping became so much easier (and quicker) and I felt more confident and visible in what I wore.
I had my Style session a few years ago and all I can say is I wish I’d done this sooner! I began to see why I didn’t love certain clothes - even when they were great colours for me. I realised why I felt more confident and like my true self in the right clothes for me - I need clothes that are feminine and structured. I now understand the best necklines, hemlines, silhouettes, and scale of accessories and patterns for me.
My colour and style journey made me realise that I don’t need a vast number of clothes, I just need pieces that suit me and work together!
My friends and family know me as someone who talks about my colour and style experience (a lot!) and I realised that I wanted to share the joy of knowing and wearing the colours and clothes that make you feel amazing. With a background in HR and training I understand the importance of personal image in making an impact professionally and socially. As a House of Colour consultant I help others to discover what colours and styles suit them and see the positive impact this makes on both their professional and personal lives.

Colour Analysis
-
Transform getting dressed everyday into an effortless and joyful experience with our life-changing colour analysis.
Through precision-dyed drapes and my expert training, I provide you with invaluable insights of knowing your season; a palette of colours customised to your unique undertones. Our approach is inclusive, serving people of all ages, races, ethnicities, and genders, ensuring that your season remains a timeless guide throughout your life.
Experience the three essential components of our colour sessions:
First is our world-class, scientific draping process that we have refined for excellence and accuracy over the past four decades. Next, I will provide advice on jewellery, watches, glasses, and, when applicable, hair and makeup based on your season. Our makeup eliminates the guesswork, enhancing your natural beauty with colours perfectly suited to you. Finally, we’ll dive further into your season as we identify the best colours for both your casual and professional life, uncovering your collection of WOW colours.
You will leave your appointment equipped with a fan of your seasonal swatches and a tailored brochure filled with personalised tips and reminders specific to you, empowering you to confidently shop for and wear your new colours!
For optimal accuracy, arrive at your analysis without spray tans or makeup. Your privacy is paramount, so no photos will be taken or shared on social media without your consent.
Style Analysis
-
Discover the science and psychology behind personal style by unlocking the power of you. During a style analysis, I'll empower you to seamlessly combine your inner self with your outward appearance, so you can step out into the world radiating confidence as your authentic self.
We consider your proportions, personality, and preferences to give you a style framework - we call this a “Clothing Personality."
You will confidently know which fabrics, prints, patterns, accessories, necklines, details, and silhouettes flatter your unique body architecture best. By integrating your personality into this framework, our style analysis transcends mere fashion guidance, going a step further to help you identify how you feel in different styles and pieces, ensuring that your wardrobe not only reflects your style but also represents your individuality.
For this appointment, you’ll bring 5–10 items from your closet that you LOVE and 5–10 that make you wonder why you don’t feel good when putting them on. Together, we’ll use this information to help you discover why you gravitated toward and loved certain pieces and what it is about the others that weren’t working for you, saving you time and money in the future! At House of Colour, we believe clothing needs to be adjusted to you, not the other way around. It is our goal to make sure you feel your most confident as who you are and how you look right now.
You’ll leave with a book with detailed information specific to you that we’ll fill out during the appointment and a Clothing Personality card with keywords that will help guide you when shopping. If you’ve already had a colour analysis, this card can be inserted into your fan which will make shopping easy and efficient!
Advanced Colour Analysis
-
This appointment is ideal for those seeking to refresh or delve deeper into their seasonal palette. Together, we’ll discover your best neutrals and explore an array of colour combinations, empowering you to curate a capsule wardrobe that brings joy with every wear.
Experience tailored makeup recommendations, including your perfect lip colours, and receive expert advice on hair shades that perfectly harmonise with your palette.
You’ll also unlock the full potential of MyHOCLookBook as we guide you through organizing your wardrobe, identifying styling gaps, and igniting inspiration to experiment with new pieces.
Wardrobe Edit
-
This appointment is designed to apply all the knowledge you gained in your colour and/or style analysis and appointment and apply it to your own wardrobe. Together, we'll filter through the pieces you don’t wear so you can donate or resell them, keeping your closet free from clutter so you can better mix and match pieces in your wardrobe to create more looks with fewer items.
This process liberates your closet from clutter, empowering you to effortlessly mix and match pieces to unlock endless styling possibilities with fewer items.

I met Hilary through a networking group, and confess that at first I was a little sceptical of colour analysis in clothing! Hilary's enthusiasm and passion for the subject is inspiring so I booked both colour and style consultations.
Wow. So glad I did! Armed with a world of information about what clothes are truely right for me, I have enjoyed a shopping trip for the first time in 20 years! The reaction from others has been amazing and so positive, but the real power lies in the difference in how I feel. Walking out of the door knowing I am showing the best version of me is incredibly empowering.

View TestimonialI just want to give a huge thanks toHilary Cryer following her fantastic Joyful Wardrobe Edit session that I did with her recently. I didn't really know what to expect from the session but to say I now have joy from my wardrobe is an underestimate. Infact I've been surprised how rewarding and uplifting its been to gift myself permission to sort my "wardrobe' into a wonderful space that I love.
Having lived with a 'temporary' hanging rail in a room also often used as a box room too, I hardly ever used this space, only going in there for absolute necessity and sourcing clothing from the large piles of clothes I am famous for leaving around the house 😂.
Following Hilarys session, she inspired me to see what a wonderful opportunity I had to create a fabulous dressing room. As a result of the session I had a major wardrobe weed and got rid of all the clothes that are really not my colour palette and that deep down I know inwont wear again.
I got some better wardrobe organisation, basics like trouser and scarf hangers and made the big step of getting a dressing table (fair to save this feels life changing alone!!)
I finally got a full length mirror as we haven't actually ever had one in the house !
What I also learnt from Hilary is how to combine colours and to be more adventurous in using colours that compliment each other together. She is really talented and has such a eye for putting outfits and accessories together. Now that I have an organised wardrobe I can now see the gaps in terms of some key outfit pieces that are missing and I can see what outfits I can put together much more clearly. I'm so delighted with the outcome and I now feel much more confident about what to buy and know how to enhance the clothes I already have.
Thank you so much Hilary..!! x x

My mission is to get you looking and feeling great about yourself and your wardrobe by providing you with the tools you need to shop and dress confidently and authentically.
It’s Time to Love Your Wardrobe – and Yourself
Before my sessions with House of Colour I would look in the wardrobe and feel overwhelmed. My wardrobe was jam packed, but I still could not decide what to wear. Each day was a boring black work suit, pale shirt, striped jumpers and jeans at the weekend and the same little black number for evenings out with friends. I felt invisible.
Caught in a permanent cycle of overbuying, each payday would be the same, spending time and money treating myself to new clothes that made me feel good for two minutes. I never managed to create any exciting new outfits.
Invitations to a wedding or evenings out would fill me with dread - what can I wear? I would buy something new. Little did I know I was always making the same mistakes. Buying unflattering colours and styles that didn’t make me look or feel good.
I would study fashion trends trying to recreate the look and by the time I had managed to get some of the key pieces the fashion trend had moved on. It always felt as though I was rummaging around in someone else dressing up box. None of it felt that it reflected me.
In March 2014 I got engaged and it was my turning point. My mum gifted me a colour analysis and style session as an engagement present and my House of Colour journey began.
The House of Colour sessions not only changed my wardrobe but also my mindset. I now shop with good habits, buying items that I know will work for me and go well with clothes I already own. It saves time and money when you know your colours and style.
Fast forward 11 years and two beautiful children later, my wardrobe has adapted through pregnancy being a new mum and returning to work. I love my style and don’t feel mumsy or frumpy. I get such a buzz from opening the wardrobe and planning an outfit from what I already own. It is less effort to get dressed now. I’m doing my bit for the planet too as I shop mindfully. New purchases are about keeping my look current, picking from fashion the very best of the trends that I know work for me and my wardrobe.
House of Colour has been a huge positive in my life. In 2018 became a stylist so that I can pass on this amazing knowledge to future clients of my own and help them to start their journey.
So the question is, are you ready to start your very own journey? Get in touch with me to chat more

Colour Analysis
-
Transform getting dressed everyday into an effortless and joyful experience with our life-changing colour analysis.
Through precision-dyed drapes and my expert training, I provide you with invaluable insights of knowing your season; a palette of colours customised to your unique undertones. Our approach is inclusive, serving people of all ages, races, ethnicities, and genders, ensuring that your season remains a timeless guide throughout your life.
Experience the three essential components of our colour sessions:
First is our world-class, scientific draping process that we have refined for excellence and accuracy over the past four decades. Next, I will provide advice on jewellery, watches, glasses, and, when applicable, hair and makeup based on your season. Our makeup eliminates the guesswork, enhancing your natural beauty with colours perfectly suited to you. Finally, we’ll dive further into your season as we identify the best colours for both your casual and professional life, uncovering your collection of WOW colours.
You will leave your appointment equipped with a fan of your seasonal swatches and a tailored brochure filled with personalised tips and reminders specific to you, empowering you to confidently shop for and wear your new colours!
For optimal accuracy, arrive at your analysis without spray tans or makeup. Your privacy is paramount, so no photos will be taken or shared on social media without your consent.
Style Analysis
-
Discover the science and psychology behind personal style by unlocking the power of you. During a style analysis, I'll empower you to seamlessly combine your inner self with your outward appearance, so you can step out into the world radiating confidence as your authentic self.
We consider your proportions, personality, and preferences to give you a style framework - we call this a “Clothing Personality."
You will confidently know which fabrics, prints, patterns, accessories, necklines, details, and silhouettes flatter your unique body architecture best. By integrating your personality into this framework, our style analysis transcends mere fashion guidance, going a step further to help you identify how you feel in different styles and pieces, ensuring that your wardrobe not only reflects your style but also represents your individuality.
For this appointment, you’ll bring 5–10 items from your closet that you LOVE and 5–10 that make you wonder why you don’t feel good when putting them on. Together, we’ll use this information to help you discover why you gravitated toward and loved certain pieces and what it is about the others that weren’t working for you, saving you time and money in the future! At House of Colour, we believe clothing needs to be adjusted to you, not the other way around. It is our goal to make sure you feel your most confident as who you are and how you look right now.
You’ll leave with a book with detailed information specific to you that we’ll fill out during the appointment and a Clothing Personality card with keywords that will help guide you when shopping. If you’ve already had a colour analysis, this card can be inserted into your fan which will make shopping easy and efficient!
Advanced Colour Analysis
-
This appointment is ideal for those seeking to refresh or delve deeper into their seasonal palette. Together, we’ll discover your best neutrals and explore an array of colour combinations, empowering you to curate a capsule wardrobe that brings joy with every wear.
Experience tailored makeup recommendations, including your perfect lip colours, and receive expert advice on hair shades that perfectly harmonise with your palette.
You’ll also unlock the full potential of MyHOCLookBook as we guide you through organizing your wardrobe, identifying styling gaps, and igniting inspiration to experiment with new pieces.
Wardrobe Edit
-
This appointment is designed to apply all the knowledge you gained in your colour and/or style analysis and appointment and apply it to your own wardrobe. Together, we'll filter through the pieces you don’t wear so you can donate or resell them, keeping your closet free from clutter so you can better mix and match pieces in your wardrobe to create more looks with fewer items.
This process liberates your closet from clutter, empowering you to effortlessly mix and match pieces to unlock endless styling possibilities with fewer items.

Next step was the style analysis to put everything together and I learned so much about myself, not just my wardrobe. It really was a life changer! Now I can shop in confidence and love getting creative with my autumn colour palette. The consultations were a lovely bit of ‘me’ time, very relaxed but extremely informative!

View TestimonialMy mother and I visited Sophia for a Colour Analysis day as a joint treat ahead of my wedding next year. We both lack confidence in shopping and tend to stick to the same ‘safe’ (or so we thought) pallet in white, black and grey, hoping to blend in and not be noticed for our outfits.
What Sophia showed us was absolutely amazing- our colour pallets were both different but both so ‘us’ and absolutely gorgeous. Whilst in Sophia’s beautiful studio we tried the colours that worked for us along with the make-up, our confidence grew immensely and we both felt fantastic! Sophia was wonderful with us both and instilled such a sense of trust that this journey will really change our lives- it’s not just about clothes, it’s about confidence in ourselves which will enhance so many aspects of our lives. We are so pleased to have met Sophia and excited to continue the journey with styling - we can’t wait to build our new wardrobes!!

Have you lost your mojo when it comes to clothes and style? Not really sure what suits you or what to buy? I can help!
Have you lost your mojo when it comes to clothes and style? Not really sure what suits you or what to buy? I can help!
Many of the people who come to see me are facing some kind of transition in their lives and perhaps are feeling a little lost, like they have forgotten who they really are.
Maybe someone who:
- after having children who feels very ‘mumsy’ and that they have lost their identity
- leaving the corporate world who has forgotten how to dress casually
- about to enter the world of business, terrified about what to wear to the office
- in their early 30s, wondering if they are dressing old before their time
- in their 40s/50s/60/70s worrying that they might look like ‘mutton dressed as lamb’
- experiencing what some people call a ‘midlife crisis’, others a ‘wake-up call’
- more mature, towards the end of their career, finishing work and heading into retirement
- coming out of a relationship break-up and wanting to ‘dress for themselves’
- not knowing what to buy or what to pair with what, so wearing the same old things
The two main session types are Colour and Style: many clients decide they would like to do both, if so, it is totally up to you which one you want to do first. Most people start with Colour; it’s what has made us famous, and there is a clue in our name! And, by the way, there is so much more to your Colour consultation than simply being a ‘Season’!
I invite you to book a Curiosity Call with me — a friendly, no-pressure conversation where we’ll explore your goals and discuss the best options to help you move forward. Click the link below to schedule your call:
COLOUR ANALYSIS: £240 - 3 hours
Discover the shades that truly light you up! In this transformative session, we’ll uncover the colours that harmonise beautifully with your skin tone, helping you look vibrant, fresh, and confident every day.
You’ll learn:
- How to identify your most flattering colours
- Tips on how to wear and combine them
- Makeup shades that enhance your natural beauty
You’ll leave with
- A fan of precision dyed fabric swatches for your seasonal palette
- A personalised booklet full of helpful tips and colour guidance
- Access to My HoC Lookbook - our online Style Portal filled with inspiration and live shopping links
- Access to our wonderful community through our Facebook Groups
The confidence that comes from knowing your colours? Absolutely life-changing.
Buddy up with a friend (or two) and you both benefit from the discounted rate of £195*
STYLE ANALYSIS : £365 - 6 hours
Your style is more than just what you wear — it’s how you express who you are. During your Style Appointment, we’ll assess your body architecture, explore how you want to be perceived, and dive into your one-of-a-kind personality.
Together, we’ll uncover a style profile that not only flatters your shape but also reflects your inner essence - helping you show up in the world as your most authentic self.
We call this your Clothing Personality - and once you discover it, you’ll gain confidence to express your own unique style.
Once you know your style profile:
- Shopping becomes simpler
- Getting dressed becomes quicker
- You stop second-guessing yourself in the mirror
You’ll finally understand why some outfits feel like “home” and others just don’t - and you’ll gain a clear, confident way to express who you are through what you wear.
It’s about reflecting the amazing person you already are — from the inside out.
Because when you know your style, you don’t just look good — you feel like yourself. And that’s where the magic happens.
Buddy up with a friend (or two) and you both benefit from the discounted rate of £285*
MAKE-UP TUTORIAL - £100 (includes £20 towards products) - 2 hours
Master Your Makeup & Create Looks That Truly Suit You
Learn how to create the perfect looks for you — from applying makeup like a pro to choosing the right colours that leave you looking fresh, natural, and glowing with health.
Whether you’re looking for something effortless and natural, or full-coverage and glam, I can show you how.
In this hands-on session, you’ll:
- Discover the makeup shades that enhance your features
- Learn professional techniques tailored to your face shape and colouring
- Understand how to build looks that reflect your personal style
You’ll also receive a handy workbook to keep your new knowledge safe, and all the products used are available to purchase — so you can recreate your look with confidence every day!
Buddy up with a friend (or two) and you both benefit from the discounted rate of £75 per person (inc £10 towards make-up purchases)
WARDROBE EDIT – £240 (3 hours)
Too many clothes but nothing to wear? Let’s shop your wardrobe first!
In this practical session (via Zoom or in your home), I’ll help you:
- Declutter and organise
- Create outfits from what you already own
- Spot the gaps
- Build a capsule wardrobe that suits your lifestyle
It’s a confidence-boosting, clutter-clearing experience that helps you fall back in love with your clothes.
SHOPPING TRIP – £80/hour
Put your Colour & Style knowledge into action with a guided shopping trip.
We’ll start by setting your goals — whether it’s a special event, holiday, or full wardrobe refresh. Next we will gather pieces that match your palette and style, talking and learning as we go.
In the fitting room, we’ll sort items into “yes,” “no,” and “maybe” — and learn why each piece does or doesn’t work. You’ll leave with clarity, confidence, and a wardrobe that works.
Some clients do this once as a practical follow-up to their Style Session and feel confident shopping solo from then on, while others return once or twice a year for a seasonal wardrobe update.
This is a fun, focused, and incredibly efficient way to build a wardrobe that truly works for your lifestyle — and makes shopping a joy!
To get the most out of this experience, ideally you’ll have completed your Colour Analysis and Personal Style Class.

A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ME
I absolutely love being a House of Colour stylist. When I had my own Colour and Style Analysis sessions, it genuinely changed my life. I went from feeling frumpy and trying to blend into the background… to feeling confident, comfortable, and truly seen.
When the opportunity to train as a House of Colour Consultant came up in 2018, I didn’t hesitate. In my very first year, I was honoured to receive a House of Colour Star Award - and I’ve never looked back.
Now, I get to share everything I’ve learned over the last seven years and help others experience the same transformation. The best part of my job? Seeing someone light up when they realise how amazing they can feel in the right colours and styles. And when I get those messages saying, “I got three compliments this morning and all I did was…” - well, that absolutely makes my day. Why not take a look at some of my FIVE STAR GOOGLE REVIEWS
My home studio is a warm, inclusive space where everyone is welcome. We’ll laugh, learn, and explore together - and I’ll gently guide you to try colours or shapes you might never have considered, but that truly bring out your best.
It’s not just about clothes. It’s about confidence, self-expression, and showing the world the incredible person you already are.
Where the magic happens......
My studio is based in my home in the heart of Bracknell and is a place where everyone is welcome.
It's bright, it's colourful and it's my happy place! I just know it will be yours too!
It's a safe space where I'll take good care of you as you find your way to a more confident YOU.
*Please note that my sessions are run from a room on the first floor of my home. I can move to the ground floor if needed, just let me know in advance and I would be delighted to accommodate you. If you require step-free access, please contact me for options.
Welcome to my Happy Place!
My Services
Colour Analysis and Style Analysis are my two main sessions. They're like two pieces of a puzzle that go together to create a picture. Most people start with Colour..... but the choice is yours! See my bookings page for my other services.
Colour Analysis

Transform getting dressed everyday into an effortless and joyful experience with our life-changing colour analysis.
Through precision-dyed drapes and my expert training, I provide you with invaluable insights of knowing your season; a palette of colours customised to your unique undertones. Our approach is inclusive, serving people of all ages, races, ethnicities, and genders, ensuring that your season remains a timeless guide throughout your life.
Experience the three essential components of our colour sessions:

Whether you choose to undertake Colour Analysis as a 1-2-1 Exclusive Session or with a friend (or two...or even three!), you'll have a wonderful time.
Style Analysis
-
Discover the science and psychology behind personal style by unlocking the power of you. During a style analysis, I'll empower you to seamlessly combine your inner self with your outward appearance, so you can step out into the world radiating confidence as your authentic self.
We consider your proportions, personality, and preferences to give you a style framework - we call this a “Clothing Personality."
You will confidently know which fabrics, prints, patterns, accessories, necklines, details, and silhouettes flatter your unique body architecture best. By integrating your personality into this framework, our style analysis transcends mere fashion guidance, going a step further to help you identify how you feel in different styles and pieces, ensuring that your wardrobe not only reflects your style but also represents your individuality.
For this appointment, you’ll bring 5–10 items from your closet that you LOVE and 5–10 that make you wonder why you don’t feel good when putting them on. Together, we’ll use this information to help you discover why you gravitated toward and loved certain pieces and what it is about the others that weren’t working for you, saving you time and money in the future! At House of Colour, we believe clothing needs to be adjusted to you, not the other way around. It is our goal to make sure you feel your most confident as who you are and how you look right now.
You’ll leave with a book with detailed information specific to you that we’ll fill out during the appointment and a Clothing Personality card with keywords that will help guide you when shopping. If you’ve already had a colour analysis, this card can be inserted into your fan which will make shopping easy and efficient!
Available as an Exclusive 1-2-1 Session, pairs or a group of three.
This session can also be done online if you would prefer.
Personal Shopping
-
My House of Colour personal shopping service will make finding new clothing, shoes, jewellery and accessories hassle-free. As your personal stylist, I will be offering you my time, via this service, as your very own personal shopper. You can personalise how I use this time so that it is completely tailored to your objectives and desires.
Whether you are looking for the perfect outfit for a special event, refreshing your wardrobe for the latest season, or just want expert guidance on how to continue looking your best, my personal shopping services are shaped around you and your goals.
There are a number of ways for you to personalise our House of Colour personal shopping service, for example:
- We can shop together in person
- I can conduct online personal shopping for you, buying items that I know work with your unique features, characteristics and personality
- I can undertake online personal shopping for you, saving items I believe would illuminate you and you can browse and buy at your own pace later.
Let me help you get to clothes you love faster, easier and with my expert guidance, so you can wear what fits, what flatters, and what feels like you with ease.
Wardrobe Edit

This appointment is designed to apply all the knowledge you gained in your colour and/or style analysis and appointment and apply it to your own wardrobe. Together, we'll filter through the pieces you don’t wear so you can donate or resell them, keeping your closet free from clutter so you can better mix and match pieces in your wardrobe to create more looks with fewer items.

View TestimonialSHOPPING CAN BE ENJOYABLE - I absolutely LOVED my shopping trip with Tracey. The most valuable thing from today has been the feeling that shopping CAN be enjoyable and it gets easier and easier as I get better at knowing what to look for (and what to walk right on past). I actually felt energised as we walked around, picking out things by colour (which I find relatively easier to spot), then by practicality (does it match my lifestyle) and only then by the harder-to-spot details like shoulder position, neckline, pattern size, waist etc. If in doubt, stay curious and try it to learn. Honestly, this is the first time I actually felt I had energy in a shop instead of feeling mildly faint and wanting to get out of there as soon as possible. That's priceless.

View TestimonialPERFECT MOTHER OF THE GROOM OUTFIT - I recently consulted Tracey for a Colour Consultation and a Make-up Consultation. My aim was to be inspired and present myself with confidence as 'Mother of the Groom' at my son's wedding.
Tracey was extremely knowledgeable, professional, skilled, enthusiastic, warm, friendly & approachable. Both sessions were fun and informative. Tracey was very kind & ensured I had the full understanding of the HoC concept. She was very generous with her time & although the session over-ran Tracey was more than happy to spend extra time with me to complete the session thoroughly.
I now have the perfect wedding outfit and I have confidence I can apply my make-up, not only for 'every-day' but I will get it just right for the Big Day!
Tracey has truly inspired me & given me a new-found confidence!

View TestimonialUNLEASHED - I thoroughly enjoyed the Colour Analysis & especially the discovery that I’m a Paint Box Spring, which made me feel unleashed to lean into bright and colourful complementary shades, which I’ve always intuitively loved but kept myself back from.
I also wanted to say how delighted I am with the makeup I bought. I’ve had my makeup matched many times but never this well. I'm also really pleased with the quality.
Having now also done the Style Analysis I feel empowered to be even more strategic in how I build my capsule wardrobe. All the information has given me such clarity - I’m excited to stop wasting money on unflattering impulse buys!! Thank you - you’re a force of nature with such vibrancy and passion for what you do - I felt recharged and inspired after all our sessions!

View TestimonialRENEWED CONFIDENCE - From the moment you meet Tracey, you know you're in for a good time. She's bubbly, friendly and inspirational. She puts you at ease and her passion is infectious.
The colour session was amazing and I came away with confidence and a completely different perspective on what I can wear .. who would have known that some colours even make you look slimmer in the face!
I'd recommend Tracey to anyone and hope you enjoy and take away a renewed confidence in what you can wear as much as I did. Thank you, Tracey.

View TestimonialWOWZAH! - I was struck by how much my fiancée had blossomed after her colour and styling sessions with Tracey. She looked fantastic, and the transformation clearly boosted her confidence—both professionally and socially. Inspired by her experience, I decided to do the same.
So far, I've only completed my colour analysis, but it has completely transformed my clothes shopping experience. I now understand which colours suit me and how to combine them effectively. Wearing the right colours has given me a real boost in confidence, as well as a sense of enjoyment and pride in how I look—just like it did for my fiancée.
The reaction from others has been overwhelmingly positive. I even got a “wowzah” from the next-door neighbour when she saw me step out in my new, colour-matched outfit.

We felt comfortable in her home, with a lovely presented lunch and all the tea/coffee/biscuits we could ask for!
I've been through my wardrobe, sold the colours that weren't "mine" and have been slowly buying my WOW colours and I feel so much more confident no longer blending into the background, I have been receiving a lot of compliments and feel much more decisive when shopping...I'm even embracing the bright lipsticks I purchased!

View TestimonialWHAT AN EYE-OPENER! - I had my colour session with House of Colour Bracknell a couple of weeks ago and I thoroughly enjoyed it. What a wonderful 3 hours spent with the fabulous and knowledgeable Tracey! Tracey explained the science behind colour analysis, then we identified my unique colour season that complements my skin tone best. I was really surprised how some colours that I hardly ever wear, were actually my ‘wow’ colours. What an eye-opener!
This session also includes a makeup tutorial and you go home with a folder containing a colour swatch and booklet for your season that you can take with you when shopping, so you are always able to choose the right colours, both for clothing and makeup, for yourself.
It will take some time to get fully confident with my seasonal colours and how to use them effectively but now I know what to look out for. The next step will be a style session with Tracey and to get her help me with sorting out my full and cluttered wardrobe but ‘nothing to wear’! ;D
Thank you Tracey!
I can highly recommend Tracey and her services to anyone who wants to feel more confident with wearing colours.

Welcome – Feel Confident, Stylish & Authentically You
Everyone deserves to feel confident in their clothes—but with so much choice on the high street, creating a personal style that truly reflects who you are can feel overwhelming.
Real confidence comes when you understand the colours that complement you, the styles that flatter your unique body shape and proportions, and when your wardrobe reflects the personality you are inside.
I’m Isobel Penny, a professionally trained House of Colour consultant. Using a proven, science-backed approach grounded in colour theory, psychology, and style analysis, I’ll help you discover a look that’s tailored to your lifestyle, life stage, and individuality. The result? A wardrobe that works harder for you—saving time, money, and reducing waste.
I’m passionate about the transformative impact this work has. Your age, race, gender, shape, or size should never be a barrier to dressing with confidence and joy. My background as a nurse, combined with my experience, creativity, and compassion, allows me to gently guide you as your style evolves—at your own pace, and in your own way.
Whether you’re looking to refresh your wardrobe, simplify your style choices, or reconnect with your sense of self, I’m here to make that journey simple and empowering. With a personalised approach, I remove the guesswork and give you the tools to shop smarter, dress with purpose, and feel amazing every single day.
Because how you dress tells the world who you are—
Let’s make sure it reflects the real you.
"Style is something each of us already has, all we need to do is find it."
— Diane von Furstenberg
MY STORY
Clothes, colour, and style have always been a big part of my life. I was deeply influenced by my elegant mum, a classic Winter in her colour season, who looked just as stunning in bold brights as she did in black. She was known for her flair, her signature lipstick, and her fabulous collection of hats—which she wore whenever the occasion allowed.
Growing up, we always ‘dressed up’ for special occasions. I had a strong sense of what I wanted to wear, what suited me—and once my mind was made up, there was no swaying me!
Fast forward a few years, and like many of us, I became influenced by peers, fashion trends, and even my mum’s style. I went through a ‘black phase,’ unsure why it didn’t have the same effect on me as it did on others.
Then, a chance encounter with a House of Colour consultant changed everything. I discovered I am an Autumn—meaning rich, warm tones like browns, greens, teals, and golds are my most flattering colours. After my colour analysis, I went on to have my makeup and personal style consultations. Suddenly, everything made sense.
Seeing how much better I looked in my colours—and how I felt—was a revelation. I had the confidence to wear what truly suited me and a deeper understanding that how I dress can reflect my natural colouring, my body shape, and most importantly, my personality.
That journey sparked something in me, and it led to where I am today: a trained House of Colour consultant, passionate about helping others discover the same transformation.
I can help you discover your season of colours and support you as you build the confidence to wear them. When you're ready, we’ll complete the journey together—exploring your unique clothing personality, body architecture, and lifestyle. I’ll also guide you on makeup that enhances your features and show you how to shop smarter for the real you.
If you’ve already discovered your colours, it’s recommended to have a re-rate every 5–8 years. While your season stays the same, your WOW colours might shift, and your makeup needs may evolve. Book a consultation or drop me an email—I’d be happy to create something tailored to your needs.
Having your colours done can truly change your life.
Start your journey today—it’s time for a confident you.

Style Analysis
-
Discover the science and psychology behind personal style by unlocking the power of you. During a style analysis, I'll empower you to seamlessly combine your inner self with your outward appearance, so you can step out into the world radiating confidence as your authentic self.
We consider your proportions, personality, and preferences to give you a style framework - we call this a “Clothing Personality."
You will confidently know which fabrics, prints, patterns, accessories, necklines, details, and silhouettes flatter your unique body architecture best. By integrating your personality into this framework, our style analysis transcends mere fashion guidance, going a step further to help you identify how you feel in different styles and pieces, ensuring that your wardrobe not only reflects your style but also represents your individuality.
For this appointment, you’ll bring 5–10 items from your closet that you LOVE and 5–10 that make you wonder why you don’t feel good when putting them on. Together, we’ll use this information to help you discover why you gravitated toward and loved certain pieces and what it is about the others that weren’t working for you, saving you time and money in the future! At House of Colour, we believe clothing needs to be adjusted to you, not the other way around. It is our goal to make sure you feel your most confident as who you are and how you look right now.
You’ll leave with a book with detailed information specific to you that we’ll fill out during the appointment and a Clothing Personality card with keywords that will help guide you when shopping.

Well she could not have chosen a better person than - Isobel Penny
She warmly welcomed me at her house and the next few hours just passed in a flash.
After the initial meeting, she made me fresh coffee and homemade apple cake with a candle, such a lovely and kind gesture.
This session could not have come at a better time for me. I know from previous experience that I was an Autumn girl, which she confirmed. I was young at the time and didn’t appreciate all the colours I was given.
Isobel has a vast knowledge and experience and her colour presentation was so interesting. She made it really current and relevant.
She then did a full face makeup, followed by the colour cloths against my face. To see the transformation was fascinating.
Afterwards I gladly purchased the makeup used, at a very reasonable price. At no point did she push me to buy anything but I wanted to as she had transformed me.
Would highly recommend her to any family and friends. Truly professional, thank you so much!

View TestimonialI cannot recommend the advanced session highly enough. Having Isobel do the session was amazing, her intuition of colour and knowledge of how to bring my personality into the colour combinations is fantastic. Isobel had to spend extra long in her visor and mask as I was not exactly a standard summer, but her enthusiasm is infectious and she came up with amazing and non-standard colour combinations that suit me down to my core.
I definitely feel that I have A levels in colour and style now and went straight to my cupboard at home to get rid of a few items where I now understand WHY they dont work for me.
I'm buzzing with excitement thanks to Isobel's brilliant Advanced Colour & Style Session. I can highly recommend the sessions (together) and even more highly, recommend having this done with Isobel!

View TestimonialWhat an amazing two weeks. The wardrobe cleanse was an excellent experience. I now have a smaller wardrobe than I have had for years but I wear everything in it!
The course gave me the opportunity to look at everything differently,I felt able to pass things on, sell some items, gets others altered and I have a huge bag for the charity shop. The structured and sytematic approach worked well, looking at different categories each day, still leaving time to catch up.
Great value for money and having the input of four consultants was inspired.

Award winning Colour Analyst & Personal Stylist
My business mission is to give others the tools to feel more comfortable and self-assured in their own skin, whilst being mindful of the planet’s finite resources, underpinned by methods grounded in science and psychology.
Having worked in the Corporate sector for over 25 years in the UK and Internationally, I'm very aware of how important first impressions are and how others' perceive you. Time to invest in yourself and embark on a transformational journey of self discovery.
Your image is my business and I'm a catalyst for positive change in how you look and feel. I help you define the non verbal messages you want to communicate and to create visible, confident individuals who are remembered for the right reasons.
celebrate your individuality & dress with confidence
Do any of these sound familiar?
• A wardrobe full of clothes, but nothing to wear.
• Wearing the same 15% of your wardrobe, while the rest gathers dust.
• Struggling to put outfits together that feel “you.”
• Feeling invisible or overlooked in how you present yourself.
When life is changing, so is your style:
• Navigating a life-changing event or transition.
• On a weight loss journey and unsure how to dress along the way.
• Moving into the next stage of your career — interviews, promotions, or new opportunities.
• Leaving behind a uniform and not knowing where to start with everyday wear.
Moments that matter:
• Preparing for a milestone birthday or special occasion.
• Realizing your wardrobe reflects old versions of yourself you’ve outgrown.
• Tired of chasing trends that never feel authentic.
• Wanting your clothes to reflect the person you are today, not yesterday.
Science and psychology based approach
Booking a colour and style consultation is a two step process to building a lasting, sustainable wardrobe designed to give you tools that not only help you look great, but feel confident being authentically you. You are unique and your wardrobe should be too.

Next, I will provide advice on jewellery, watches, glasses, and, when applicable, hair and makeup based on your season. Our makeup eliminates the guesswork, enhancing your natural beauty with colours perfectly suited to you. Finally, we’ll dive further into your season as we identify the best colours for both your casual and professional life, uncovering your collection of WOW colours.

Style Analysis
-
Discover the science and psychology behind personal style by unlocking the power of you. During a style analysis, I'll empower you to seamlessly combine your inner self with your outward appearance, so you can step out into the world radiating confidence as your authentic self.
We consider your proportions, personality, and preferences to give you a style framework - we call this a “Clothing Personality."
You will confidently know which fabrics, prints, patterns, accessories, necklines, details, and silhouettes flatter your unique body architecture best. By integrating your personality into this framework, our style analysis transcends mere fashion guidance, going a step further to help you identify how you feel in different styles and pieces, ensuring that your wardrobe not only reflects your style but also represents your individuality.
For this appointment, you’ll bring 5–10 items from your closet that you LOVE and 5–10 that make you wonder why you don’t feel good when putting them on. Together, we’ll use this information to help you discover why you gravitated toward and loved certain pieces and what it is about the others that weren’t working for you, saving you time and money in the future! At House of Colour, we believe clothing needs to be adjusted to you, not the other way around. It is our goal to make sure you feel your most confident as who you are and how you look right now.
You’ll leave with a book with detailed information specific to you that we’ll fill out during the appointment and a Clothing Personality card with keywords that will help guide you when shopping. If you’ve already had a colour analysis, this card can be inserted into your fan which will make shopping easy and efficient!

View TestimonialJust had a House of Colour consultation with Julie and all I can say is...unbelievable! Which is actually what I repeated too many times to mention while I was there. I had no idea what to expect, I was just attracted to have it done because of how fabulous Julie looks and I thought she was a living, breathing advert for what she does.
In a few hours, my whole attitude to the colours I dress in and make up colours I choose has been changed. I knew I liked certain colours, some more than others, and now I know why they make me happy. What I wasn't prepared for was the way some colours made me look. I would never in a million years have chosen a raspberry pink, which is so pretty but not me...except it is me because I discovered I am Summer!
I was so impressed by Julie's knowledge and expertise, and the way she explained everything so well, not being surprised at all when I was completely gobsmacked by the colour choices! She put me at my ease and was just lovely. And she doesn't impose or tell you what to do, she is very encouraging and empowering.
The goody bag you get given at the end in just beautiful and I am now armed with the info and insight to go shopping and revamp my wardrobe and makeup bag with confidence.
I really wish I had done this years ago and one of the biggest compliments I can pay Julie is that she made me, a 57 year old who was really thinking that there was little I could do, feel really pretty.
Highly recommended.

My personal colour palette should be Autumn , warm and mellow shades but I’ve been dressing to my character and those who know me will recognise this ( black, white, purple, red etc) Strong colours but now I’m very excited to relaunch my packaging starting with make up and going forward from there.

View Testimonial"Julie is positively sparkling. Her enthusiasm is infectious, and her warm, caring, professional manner and keen eye quickly puts you at ease.
I'd had my colours done before, (not with HOC), but became intrigued when I read about seasonal sub-types on a Kettlewell blog, and wanted to know more. Julie has given me absolute confidence with my colours, and best of all I now understand how and where on my body to wear them to best effect.
With stage 2, Style, Julie does something incredible in drawing out your personality traits, some of which you may have not realised or forgotten, and intertwines them with your lifestyle and natural body shape to form your personal style. It is such an eye-opener and great fun. Nothing is right or wrong - it's just accepting "you as you". I think I have been fighting against type most of my life, so 'new me' here I come.
The studio ambiance is charming, positive, light, airy and colourful! Both stages were good fun, informative, enlightening and very worthwhile. Julie inspires and helps you to be 'the best you', inside and out, each day."

View TestimonialI met Julie through a women’s networking group, along with others who had already had their colours analysed by her and she came highly recommended; she is such a bubbly character.
Almost immediately when Julie started draping me with different colours that matched my season (Autumn) my whole face lit up, it was like the sun had suddenly come out and when she draped me in a colour that was not right for me to give me a comparison the light went out.
I realised for many years I had been going into shops to buy clothes, particularly those for work and seeing a dress or skirt and just thinking ‘that will do’. Well I had been walking around for many years feeling nothing more than I blended in with the crowd, no one noticed me and I didn’t feel special in any way. Now I knew why!
When I put on my colours I felt bright, confident and noticeable. It made me smile which added even more warmth to my personality.
My ‘go to colours’ in the past were black and dark blue, so wrong! I now wear orange, mustard yellow and many, many other colours I would never have worn in the past. I go into shops and head straight for my colours, I am in no way attracted to any clothes that are not the right colour for me. I feel so much more alive, more confident, more me!
Without a doubt that day was really fun, you cannot be with Julie and not have fun, but it was so much more than that. It opened my eyes to who I really am and made me realise I am worthy of being noticed in a crowd. I do want to walk into a room and be noticed, that is a great feeling, particularly when you always walk in with a smile on your face because you feel so fabulous. The confidence boost is enormous.
I would strongly recommend to anyone to have a colour analysis and even better to have your style and make up done as well. You have an expert in Julie, you only have to look at her to see how vibrant and attractive she is and that’s because she knows what makeup suits her and what colours flatter her and she makes the most of that.

View Testimonial“What a valuable, eye opening and enjoyable day I had with Julie this week. Right from the start she put me at my ease and made sure she understood what I wanted to get from the day. We talked about style, what suited me and what to avoid. We then moved onto colour. What a revelation. I never realised I could wear so many colours and how they all work together. We finished off with make-up. Julie made it easy to try out all the products and I looked like me, only better!
Doing all three parts together really built my understanding and confidence. Throughout, Julie was supportive, professional and perceptive. I had been thinking about doing this for a while and it was so powerful I only wish I had done it sooner - I’ll certainly be recommending it to my friends.
Thank you Julie for making it such fabulous fun!”

As Julie takes you through the process of identifying what colours most suit you, it quickly becomes clear what a difference the right shade can make to your appearance. I’ve since bought a few items of clothing in a few of the top colours for me and I LOVE wearing these.
She also identified the shades of makeup that would be most complementary for me to wear and as someone who really doesn’t wear much makeup, she has also helped bring me some comfort around wearing lipstick now.
Julie offers a lovely calm, quiet space and is a pleasure to spend time with, so it felt like a real treat doing this session with her.
I highly recommend having your colours done if you haven’t already and Julie is an absolutely fantastic person to be guiding you through the process.

View TestimonialI have had an amazing experience with Julie, she is very knowledgeable and willing to share what she can with you.
From our work together I believe I make better decisions on clothes, style and colour, that most suits me and from there I believe it gives me more confidence in myself, when going out to 'face the world'.
I very recently found myself being made redundant and looking for my next role and putting outfits together that made me feel good about myself were most definitely a key component on why I've been successful in obtaining the role I want.

View TestimonialOh yes Julie so insightful. I cannot get over how many comments I have had in the last six months about how well I look! I smile inside knowing people have no idea that through your guidance on the right colour and make up for my skin tone and choosing clothes which suit me I seem to appear differently.
I look back at my subdued and mute colours from two years ago and now my personality is shining through.
To be honest I was quite sceptical before our appointment. Now I am the total convert. Love being a summer girl (not the autumn one I thought I was)
Thank You

Julie is just amazing at putting you at your ease and now I feel like she’s my best friend.
After a wonderful day at Julie’s studio I left fully equipped with the knowledge and confidence to put together some eye-catching outfits, not to mention the bag full of makeup to go with my new look.
I had the typical wardrobe - full of clothes but nothing to wear! Now I know what colours & styles suit my shape and personality and the best bit……I am often complimented on how amazing I look.
My reply? I feel amazing. All thanks to Julie 💕

View TestimonialI’m not sure everyone would describe me as having a ‘sunny disposition’, but Julie Jackson did! Well, Julie found I’m a ‘Summer’ colour in my recent Colour Analysis! It was an eye opening experience, literally, I can now see the sparkle in my big blue eyes!
After piling on the pounds recently for one reason or another, I have grown out of love for myself and become incredibly tired of looking in the mirror and seeing a cloud of grey.
Julie did a fantastic job of making me comfortable while she showed me what colours made me look great to wear, shades of makeup and she even made me look younger!
We go to a professional for most advice, so why not do so with how you look, every day, where making first impressions are key in business and social settings.
For now, please bear with me while I phase out the dull ‘corporate’ wear… oh and I’ll work on that sunny smile.

The session with Julie was a real eye opener (literally!) and was a great way to focus on how I want to come across and what really brings the best out in me. Julie was warm and patient and really explained the power of colours. Since my session, I have had lots of comments such as - Have I had my haircut? Have I been away? Have I lost weight? But no, I am just wearing better colour choices that complement me better.
Thanks Julie for a great experience.

I had my colours done last Friday! Well, I had colour analysis - something I have wanted to do for years. Scientifically the colours we wear can make us look brighter, healthier, and even younger! It’s all to do with tones of colour and how colours interact and it’s GENIUS. I say my face change completely before my eyes, just because of the fabric surrounding it. The difference was overwhelming and I think quite possibly life changing! Its going to end up saving me a lot of time and money going forward. It was SO much fun - almost like therapy with some imaging and dreaming thrown in. I left feeling like a new woman !
We even covered hair colour, make up, jewellery, nail colour and even shoes and bags! I can’t wait to go back to learn about dressing for my shape, personality & lifestyle - it was a game changer thank you Julie!

Colour analysis, style and make up session with Julie has completely changed my attitude to clothes and myself.
Having dressed in black and navy for years and having avoided clothes shops as much as possible… I now love clothes.
Putting make up on for fun and treating myself like a deserving person felt alien to start with but two months on from seeing Julie… I love colour and spending time on me.
Julie put me at ease from the first moment and I felt I could trust her! Best money I have spent in years.
I have since bought a session for my daughter… turns out we are both Summer with predominantly the same wow colours which adds to our fun.

View TestimonialAs a long-awaited birthday treat I booked in to see Julie to sort me out once and for all! A colour wheel nomad with the clothing personality of ‘whatever the latest Amazon impulse buy ended up on my doorstep’, I was tragic and I knew it!!
Julie was patient, warm, non-judgmental and calm as she took me artfully through the HoC process. Layer by layer through quizzes, discussion, and trial and error we got to the heart of my confusion. Together we deconstructed the elements of dressing well FOR ME. I arrived comfortably at my clothing personality and followed later on to my colour season and sub season. The rest was just closure with hair and makeup colour and application tips to sync with my perfect ‘wow’ colours. Finally this colour wheel nomad has a home, and I can tweak it for all occasions with knowledge about how my colours communicate, how my style fits different events and times.
Thanks to ‘The Adjuliecator’ (the nickname I called her all day 😄), with my colour fan in hand, I will never wander off round the colour wheel again!!

Does your wardrobe reflect the person you are today?
You deserve a wardrobe that reflects who you are. Yet, for many people in Oxfordshire, getting dressed has become a source of daily stress and a sapping of confidence rather than a boost. If you find yourself looking despondently at a bursting-at-the-seams wardrobe and feel you have nothing to wear, you are not alone.
Does this sound like you?
A Wardrobe Full of Nothing To Wear
Are you tired of buying clothes that looked great in the shop but don’t match anything you own?
The Identity Gap
Have you experienced a recent life transition: a new career, a milestone birthday, or a move to Oxfordshire - leaving you feeling like your old clothes belong to a different person?
Morning Decision Fatigue
Are you a busy person wasting 20 minutes every morning agonising over an outfit, only to leave the house settling for an outfit “that’ll do” and coming home to a pile of clothes to tidy up?
The Credibility Gap
Do you worry that your visual image isn't commanding the authority and influence your expertise deserves?
My Story
My House of Colour journey began almost 20 years ago, after my sister-in-law returned from a Colour Analysis class looking subtly outstanding. Inspired, I immediately booked in for the next available consultation. At that time, black dominated my wardrobe, so much so that I made a sneaky vow to myself to continue wearing it, even if my colour analysis showed that it isn't a great colour for me. It isn't! I am a paint box Spring, accentuated by warm, light, bright and splashy colours; black made me look older, heavier and unwell. Who wants to look like that?
Along with the subsequent Personal Style consultation, my experience with House of Colour was a personal revelation. I grew from feeling insignificant and a little consumed by being a busy mum and teacher to being confident, visible, authentic and professionally successful. The clothes that weren't really me were donated to charity without a second thought and clothes shopping became intentional, less expensive and more efficient in terms of my time and energy because I knew exactly what to buy to suit my colouring, body shape, personality and lifestyle.
Doing my Colour and Style analyses with House of Colour is the best investment I have ever made in myself. So much so that I hung up my teacher hat and became a House of Colour Consultant.

Colour Analysis
-
Transform getting dressed everyday into an effortless and joyful experience with our life-changing colour analysis.
Through precision-dyed drapes and my expert training, I provide you with invaluable insights of knowing your season; a palette of colours customised to your unique undertones. Our approach is inclusive, serving people of all ages, races, ethnicities, and genders, ensuring that your season remains a timeless guide throughout your life.
Experience the three essential components of our colour sessions:
First is our world-class, scientific draping process that we have refined for excellence and accuracy over the past four decades. Next, I will provide advice on jewellery, watches, glasses, and, when applicable, hair and makeup based on your season. Our makeup eliminates the guesswork, enhancing your natural beauty with colours perfectly suited to you. Finally, we’ll dive further into your season as we identify the best colours for both your casual and professional life, uncovering your collection of WOW colours.
You will leave your appointment equipped with a fan of your seasonal swatches and a tailored brochure filled with personalised tips and reminders specific to you, empowering you to confidently shop for and wear your new colours!
For optimal accuracy, arrive at your analysis without spray tans or makeup. Your privacy is paramount, so no photos will be taken or shared on social media without your consent.
Style Analysis
-
Discover the science and psychology behind personal style by unlocking the power of you. During a style analysis, I'll empower you to seamlessly combine your inner self with your outward appearance, so you can step out into the world radiating confidence as your authentic self.
We consider your proportions, personality, and preferences to give you a style framework - we call this a “Clothing Personality."
You will confidently know which fabrics, prints, patterns, accessories, necklines, details, and silhouettes flatter your unique body architecture best. By integrating your personality into this framework, our style analysis transcends mere fashion guidance, going a step further to help you identify how you feel in different styles and pieces, ensuring that your wardrobe not only reflects your style but also represents your individuality.
For this appointment, you’ll bring 5–10 items from your closet that you LOVE and 5–10 that make you wonder why you don’t feel good when putting them on. Together, we’ll use this information to help you discover why you gravitated toward and loved certain pieces and what it is about the others that weren’t working for you, saving you time and money in the future! At House of Colour, we believe clothing needs to be adjusted to you, not the other way around. It is our goal to make sure you feel your most confident as who you are and how you look right now.
You’ll leave with a book with detailed information specific to you that we’ll fill out during the appointment and a Clothing Personality card with keywords that will help guide you when shopping. If you’ve already had a colour analysis, this card can be inserted into your fan which will make shopping easy and efficient!
Wardrobe Edit
-
This appointment is designed to apply all the knowledge you gained in your colour and/or style analysis and appointment and apply it to your own wardrobe. Together, we'll filter through the pieces you don’t wear so you can donate or resell them, keeping your closet free from clutter so you can better mix and match pieces in your wardrobe to create more looks with fewer items.
This process liberates your closet from clutter, empowering you to effortlessly mix and match pieces to unlock endless styling possibilities with fewer items.
Personal Shopping
-
My House of Colour personal shopping service will make finding new clothing, shoes, jewellery and accessories hassle-free. As your personal stylist, I will be offering you my time, via this service, as your very own personal shopper. You can personalise how I use this time so that it is completely tailored to your objectives and desires.
Whether you are looking for the perfect outfit for a special event, refreshing your wardrobe for the latest season, or just want expert guidance on how to continue looking your best, my personal shopping services are shaped around you and your goals.
There are a number of ways for you to personalise our House of Colour personal shopping service, for example:
- We can shop together in person
- I can conduct online personal shopping for you, buying items that I know work with your unique features, characteristics and personality
- I can undertake online personal shopping for you, saving items I believe would illuminate you and you can browse and buy at your own pace later.
Let me help you get to clothes you love faster, easier and with my expert guidance, so you can wear what fits, what flatters, and what feels like you with ease.
Advanced Colour Analysis

Experience tailored makeup recommendations, including your perfect lip colours, and receive expert advice on hair shades that perfectly harmonise with your palette.
You’ll also unlock the full potential of MyHOCLookBook as we guide you through organizing your wardrobe, identifying styling gaps, and igniting inspiration to experiment with new pieces.

View TestimonialDear Nicola,
I would like to thank you so much for the recent colour session. After your recent presentation at BNI I was really wowed by the prospect of knowing what to wear, and having the right clothes in my wardrobe.
You did a great job during your presentation of explaining why we would want to have a colour session and how life would be better after it, I knew I had to book a session. However, I still really didn’t know what to expect and found myself a little nervous on the day. Would it be really cringe? Would it be really girly. Would it mean I had to wear red lipstick every day?? Well it was none of the above!
You really took your time to explain how House of Colour works, the ‘science’ behind the pretty colours and how to use the outputs of your process. But what really blew me away was seeing how the colours worked when you put me in front of the mirror. It is unbelievable! You can really see the difference this makes and now I know why in some tops I just don’t feel “right”. Wearing two of my colours this morning I have had 3 compliments (ok one was from my 5 year old son – you look amazing mummy!) but what a difference a day makes! I would encourage everyone to get this done. It will make a difference to your life and your wellbeing!
Man or woman, please do book a session with Nicola. Nicola, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you to individuals or groups.
Thank you so much!

All About Me....
Hi, I'm Karin, your go to Personal Stylist Colour Analyst and Image consultant. I am a Mum of 2 living in Chalfont St Peter and love teaching everything colour and style. My job is to teach you how to look your very best through colour, style and make up. Whether you need help with colours, dressing your body shape, boosting your confidence, shopping sustainably or personal branding, I will have a class for you. Read on for details of my classes. Please contact me If you'd like to discuss anything further or you can't find a date listed that suits you.
Classes are for men, women and children. The right colour and style is important for both men and women. Being visible for the right reasons and perfecting your personal brand.
Style - Step 1
Learn how to dress not only your body architecture but your personality too. We'll look at your body proportions, scales of pattern and accessories and your own unique style that will help you shop sustainably and smarter, look and feel fantastic.
Colour Analysis - Step 2
Ever wondered why you look great in some colours and ghost like in others? Our skin tone is either more yellow of more blue based. During a colour analysis we work out the 36 colours that will make your skin glow and your eyes shine. We will also find your perfect foundation, blusher and 3 lipsticks which is known as our "90 second make up look".
Having completed both your colour and style classes you will have a wardrobe that gives you maximum versatility where everything works together.
Make Up - Step 3
Building on your knowledge from the 90 second make up look, we will dive deeper into your own personalised make up looks including daytime and evening looks.
Wardrobe Reviews
Can't see the wood for the trees? Is your wardrobe more like a museum than your toolkit? Let me help you create your ideal capsule wardrobe and create new outfits from what you already have. This class can either be done virtually or in person ( COVID-19 permitting)
Personal Shopping
Feel like you're wandering around the shops in circles or haven't got the will or inclination to trawl through the internet.
Let me take the hard work out of shopping for you. Again, this can be done virtually or a personalised shopping trip. I can even order, deliver and return the items for you.
Kid's Colour
It's never too early to know your colours. I can only imagine how much money I would have saved had I known my colours earlier. The cost of the class does not include a wallet but this can be purchased at a cost of £55.
Colour Rerate
This is a class we would recommend every 7-10 years. You will never change seasons but as we age our skin becomes more transparent and our eyes become duller. In a rerate class we can check your season colours and rediscover some new wow's!
Confident Accessorising
Accessories are so important - they can change the look of an outfit in an instant. Learn how to confidently style your accessories for maximum impact.
Scarf Styling
Never underestimate the importance of a scarf. Big, scarves, small scarves, different ways of styling and tying. A fun class for a group of friends!
Classes can be tailored to an individual's needs. Short of time, colour and style can be delivered in a day. Classes can be held for private sessions, couples and groups.

I’m Michelle, Star Colour and Style consultant for Hammersmith and Shepherds Bush.
I'm delighted to welcome clients to Colour Analysis, Make-Up and Personal Style classes at my studio in Shepherds Bush, W12.
What Colour Analysis can do for you
Most of us will have a preference for certain colours. But do you really, truly know which colours make you look your best? Are you completely confident when you're choosing clothes in shops or from your wardrobe that you've made the right choice and not just the safe one?
Through a Colour Analysis class:
- Learn which are the right colours for you – those which will always make you look and feel fantastic.
- Become a time efficient shopper; once you know what you're looking for, shopping becomes more of a pleasure and less of a chore.
- Never make another costly mistake; from now on you will only buy what truly suits you.
- Understand how to build a wardrobe of clothes that go together. You'll be able to mix and match your entire wardrobe. Putting your outfits together every day becomes effortless.
- Always look expensive, well put-together and appropriate for every occasion, whatever your budget.
Colour Analysis consultations are for women and men. The class or consultation could be the key to unlocking your inner confidence, that next date or that overdue promotion. But above all, it will save you money by making the right colour choices first time around. Once you have experienced a colour analysis for yourself you'll wonder why you waited so long!
The benefits of a Make Up class
Wearing the right amount of make up brings you perfectly into focus so that people see you and not the make-up. In this class we'll find the right makeup to give you three different looks that each work beautifully with your own skin tone and colouring. You will learn how to apply makeup so that you look naturally radiant at all times.

Having worked out the colours that suit you, the next logical step is to extend this into a review of your style
and clothing personality to bring out the best of you through your clothing choices, whether for daily life or special occasions.
My Experiences with House of Colour
I first had a Colour Consultation years ago as a client of House of Colour and was immediately struck by the huge difference it made. To be honest, the boldness of my (winter) palette startled me initially but I could not deny what was happening in the mirror before my eyes: these very clear and bright colours were doing something amazing for my face. Wearing the right colours really brings you into focus; your skin and eyes brighten, and you appear fresher, slimmer and more radiant.
I was reminded of this more recently when I returned to House of Colour to have a make- up lesson. Having never worn the right shade of lipstick before, I went home feeling fantastic and found that people on the street kept saying hello to me and that the world was a friendlier place in general. I could feel people reacting to me in a more positive way because of the impact colour was having on my appearance and self- confidence.
I've gained so much from colour analysis and now feel very privileged to be able to share this experience with others.
Please contact me on the above email address or telephone number for more details.
I run classes and consultations on weekdays and weekends.

View TestimonialColour Analysis with Michelle was fun and extremely informative. I was able to shrink my closet to items with colours that compliment me which helps with tight living space in London.
Knowing what colours work well for me also helps with shopping on the high street. It makes getting dressed effortless. I love all the colours in my closet and on me.
I got a lot of compliments on the lipstick Michelle recommended for me, which is actually not a colour I would choose on my own but it works for me. Thank you, Michelle!

I specialise in helping you discover the clothes that give you a real buzz. The ones that make you look in the mirror and think 'Yes!' - whether that's going to the supermarket, or out to a big event.
Have you hit a point where so much has changed you've lost your way when it comes to what to wear?
Does it feel like your body has changed and what used to work no longer does?
Is the wardrobe that used to serve you well, now making you feel dull?
Are you wearing the same things on repeat, because they're comfy, easy and cover up the bits you don't like?
Has shopping gone from being something you enjoyed to quite stressful?
Do you stand in front of your wardrobe in despair at the clothes that don't suit you and you don't wear?
Here's the reassuring thing. At certain points in our lives we all face siginificant changes that affect the way we present ourselves to the world. If you are struggling at the moment this is only temporary. There is a fun and easy way forward that means you can step back into feeling like you.
Would you love to enjoy choosing what to wear?
Imagine how amazing it will feel knowing you can confidently pull an outfit together at the last minute that you will love wearing.

Colour Analysis
-
Transform getting dressed everyday into an effortless and joyful experience with our life-changing colour analysis.
Through precision-dyed drapes and my expert training, I provide you with invaluable insights of knowing your season; a palette of colours customised to your unique undertones. Our approach is inclusive, serving people of all ages, races, ethnicities, and genders, ensuring that your season remains a timeless guide throughout your life.
Experience the three essential components of our colour sessions:
First is our world-class, scientific draping process that we have refined for excellence and accuracy over the past four decades. Next, I will provide advice on jewellery, watches, glasses, and, when applicable, hair and makeup based on your season. Our makeup eliminates the guesswork, enhancing your natural beauty with colours perfectly suited to you. Finally, we’ll dive further into your season as we identify the best colours for both your casual and professional life, uncovering your collection of WOW colours.
You will leave your appointment equipped with a fan of your seasonal swatches and a tailored brochure filled with personalised tips and reminders specific to you, empowering you to confidently shop for and wear your new colours!
For optimal accuracy, arrive at your analysis without spray tans or makeup. Your privacy is paramount, so no photos will be taken or shared on social media without your consent.
Group Colour AnalysisI do see small groups, up to three for a colour analysis session.
Style Analysis
-
Discover the science and psychology behind personal style by unlocking the power of you. During a style analysis, I'll empower you to seamlessly combine your inner self with your outward appearance, so you can step out into the world radiating confidence as your authentic self.
We consider your proportions, personality, and preferences to give you a style framework - we call this a “Clothing Personality."
You will confidently know which fabrics, prints, patterns, accessories, necklines, details, and silhouettes flatter your unique body architecture best. By integrating your personality into this framework, our style analysis transcends mere fashion guidance, going a step further to help you identify how you feel in different styles and pieces, ensuring that your wardrobe not only reflects your style but also represents your individuality.
For this appointment, you’ll bring 5–10 items from your closet that you LOVE and 5–10 that make you wonder why you don’t feel good when putting them on. Together, we’ll use this information to help you discover why you gravitated toward and loved certain pieces and what it is about the others that weren’t working for you, saving you time and money in the future! At House of Colour, we believe clothing needs to be adjusted to you, not the other way around. It is our goal to make sure you feel your most confident as who you are and how you look right now.
You’ll leave with a book with detailed information specific to you that we’ll fill out during the appointment and a Clothing Personality card with keywords that will help guide you when shopping. If you’ve already had a colour analysis, this card can be inserted into your fan which will make shopping easy and efficient!
Advanced Colour Analysis
-
This appointment is ideal for those seeking to refresh or delve deeper into their seasonal palette. Together, we’ll discover your best neutrals and explore an array of colour combinations, empowering you to curate a capsule wardrobe that brings joy with every wear.

You’ll also unlock the full potential of MyHOCLookBook as we guide you through organizing your wardrobe, identifying styling gaps, and igniting inspiration to experiment with new pieces.
Wardrobe Edit
-
This appointment is designed to apply all the knowledge you gained in your colour and/or style analysis and appointment and apply it to your own wardrobe. Together, we'll filter through the pieces you don’t wear so you can donate or resell them, keeping your closet free from clutter so you can better mix and match pieces in your wardrobe to create more looks with fewer items.
This process liberates your closet from clutter, empowering you to effortlessly mix and match pieces to unlock endless styling possibilities with fewer items.
Personal Shopping
-
My House of Colour personal shopping service will make finding new clothing, shoes, jewellery and accessories hassle-free. As your personal stylist, I will be offering you my time, via this service, as your very own personal shopper. You can personalise how I use this time so that it is completely tailored to your objectives and desires.
Whether you are looking for the perfect outfit for a special event, refreshing your wardrobe for the latest season, or just want expert guidance on how to continue looking your best, my personal shopping services are shaped around you and your goals.
There are a number of ways for you to personalise our House of Colour personal shopping service, for example:
- We can shop together in person
- I can conduct online personal shopping for you, buying items that I know work with your unique features, characteristics and personality
- I can undertake online personal shopping for you, saving items I believe would illuminate you and you can browse and buy at your own pace later.
Let me help you get to clothes you love faster, easier and with my expert guidance, so you can wear what fits, what flatters, and what feels like you with ease.

Hello, my name is Judy and my House of Colour journey has changed how I feel about myself and turned my drab wardrobe where I had ‘nothing to wear’ into a true capsule wardrobe where everything in it suits me and I can mix and match creating lots of different colour combinations whilst honouring my own unique style. There are no strangers in my wardrobe, only friends who are worn regularly and loved all the time. The whole process has taken years off me, I look younger, brighter, slimmer and enjoy special events and nights out without worrying about what to wear and how I will feel.
Would you like to avoid making costly shopping mistakes with your clothes, shoes, hair colour and accessories? Would you like to know which colours suit you and where to wear them on your body enabling you to shop quickly and effectively? Would you like to look and feel amazing every day?
I know the answer to these questions is ‘Yes!’ My client’s biggest regret is not having discovered their own unique colour and style earlier, so let’s get your colour journey started.
How the service works for you:
You can either join a group session or book a one to one appointment. I advertise the classes held at my Studio in a flexible way because I know that clients appreciate the ability to choose week days or weekends to suit them. Contact me direct or book through the website. I also run a gift voucher service too.
In addition to the classes held in my Studio, I regularly help clients to review and sort out their own wardrobes and take them on a personal shopping experience to fill the gaps.
Please feel free to call me on 07790 215636 for a confidential, informal chat to see how I can help you.
I look forward to meeting you

I am a pharmacist who loves colour, with a deep understanding of the science behind Colour Analysis. I have been working as a House of Colour Consultant for nearly 10 years.
Where the magic happens...
Chemistry and Colour Combined
I have always been fascinated by the science of colour. My own House of Colour transformation started in 2005 when an NHS work colleague suggested that we 'go and get our colours done'. I had always wanted to do it, and so my husband bought me a gift voucher for Christmas (take note ladies and gents- it makes a great gift experience !)
It was a most fascinating and enjoyable day, that I still remember clearly many years later.
Shopping trips were immediately transformed into a more enjoyable, focused and less costly affair, with the knowledge that one quarter of the colours were right from me, and the other three quarters were definitely to be avoided.
A little while later I experienced more empowering learning with my Personal Style class.
Now a colour and image consultant in my own right having trained in 2015, I have a very rewarding career supporting others to embrace life skills that aren't taught at school.
Come join me- what are you waiting for?
I was awarded a HoC Star Consultant award in 2018, 2019, and 2022 and possess a Certificate of Professional Excellence.
Forthcoming class dates can be viewed by clicking on 'Book Now'.
Other dates and 1 to 1 bookings are available upon request. Please email me for further information.

The whole day was brilliant, and I would recommend this as a lovely gift for someone special, or to treat yourself as it's so beneficial. Now when I go shopping I carry my colour wallet, it has made shopping easier, more fun and has increased my confidence in mixing colours that I know now work for me. Would highly recommend, thank you Julia! .

View TestimonialI had my colours session with Julia some months ago. I loved the experience. Having the colours bring out the best of my skin tone was enlightening, and indeed uplifting. The session itself was also great fun; Julia is a lovely fun person and is completely focussed on her client and making the experience a positive one. Since having my colours session, I've really enjoyed shopping for clothes in my colours; I save a lot of time, and have so much more confidence in the clothes I wear. It's great to know that I will almost always get a compliment just because the colours I wear are MY colours! It almost detracts from having to buy overly priced expensive clothes. I would and do regularly recommend Julia's colours workshop to all around me! Thank you.

View TestimonialWe very much enjoyed our colour analysis - it was a real eye-opener to both of us and explains why it has been so difficult to find clothes that make us look our best. During lockdown we paid for an online colour analysis with a small company, and from photos we sent they confirmed our season as Summer. My husband was sceptical and none of us could put our finger on why a lot of summer colours didn't seem right. We then saved up for a face-to-face consultation and chose House of Colour. Even though more expensive than the online option I don't regret going down this route- it brings definite clarity to our wardrobes and fabric stash, and was well worth the money. It is going to be liberating sorting through our wardrobes and getting rid of colours that shouldn't be there. Thank you so much. (Both Blue Autumns)

View TestimonialMy husband booked me the Complete Journey plus a London Shopping Trip with Fiona, as a Christmas present, and I'm so glad he did. Fiona gave me the pointers I needed regarding Colour and Style, which I really didn't have a clue about. I went home afterwards and had a total clear out and was finally able to identify why I never wore so many items - because they didn't actually suit me!! Now that my wardrobe is arranged in 'Colour Order' it makes it so much easier to throw on an outfit. The Shopping Trip was an added bonus. It was great to get guidance from Fiona on how to cast your eye around the rails and pick out the right colours and styles. I purchased some key items with Fiona's assistance and now I think that I'm not doing too badly myself! It was definitely worth it. Thanks from a Natural Gamine Spring

View TestimonialHaving done Colour and Personal Style I decided to book a Wardrobe Review. I found it incredibly useful to actually look at the clothes I already possessed, on me, and to get a very informed and objective(but never cruel!)second opinion. We discussed what did and did not work, and WHY. I now find it much quicker to get dressed in the morning, and to pack for holidays. I would highly recommend having Fiona look at your wardrobe with you. It was really helpful, not nearly as scary as I imagined, and much more fun too!

Colour Analysis, Personal Style Advice and Image Consultant for The Hague, the Netherlands
Every one deserves to look their best !
If you look good, you feel good and I can teach you how to do this.
My name is Maud Janssen, I am Dutch and have been very passionate about clothes and styling since I was young. After finishing my Master in Psychology I moved to live in Rome, and later to Barcelona. I loved living the Mediterranean way of life for 15 years! Women in these countries always look their best and feel confident about their appearance. In 2012 we moved to England and this is where my House of Colour journey began. Worked as a Hoc consultant succesfully for 3,5 year southwest of London when we left for Tokyo for 2 years where I continued with my job. Now I am back in my home country the Netherlands, after 20 years abroad. Over the last 9 years I have worked with some many different cultures and skintones!
I love what I do, it is such a positive job, seeing clients leave happy and radiant is just great!
Colour Analysis is such a powerful tool to look your best every day. And knowing your Style is key!
Have you ever had an outfit that just feels right? Every time you wear it, you get compliments and you feel like YOU in it. How wonderful would it be to have a wardrobe full of clothes that work together, but more importantly they work on YOU. Your own colouring and personality will be shining through. This is what I wish for my clients and I teach them how to do this.
Come to discover the secrets to successful shopping and know exactly what colours & styles suit you, so to look your best for any occasion !
STEP 1 BOOK A COLOUR CLASS and discover the benefits:
*Always look great with the right colour & make up
*Gain more self confidence and get lots of compliments
*Save a small fortune, time & energy in shopping
*Possess a co-ordinated wardrobe
*Have a fun experience !
How does it work ?
Having your colours and image done is not about whether you can wear blue or purple or brown, it is about discovering which shading of each colour suits you, and how to best maximize your own assets. Many people ask what exactly I do in a colour class. I basically work out which colours co-ordinate with your individual skin tone by comparing the effect a series of precision dyed drapes has on your skin-tone. If you are wearing the wrong colours you can look tired and it will draw attention to flaws, whereas the right colour shading for you will have a positive effect on your skintone and make you look alive, healthy and interesting.
Once we have discovered the colour palette that suits you, I put you in a basic makeup that works for your skin-tone. Then I discuss and rate each of your colours, advising you whether the colour should be worn top-to-toe or as a blouse, or even just as an accessory. You go home with all the information and you will start the process of looking fabulous and getting lots of compliments!
- A Colour class in a small group costs 225 euro including a colour swatch wallet of your season to take home with you
- A private session 1-2-1 is 275 euro
STEP 2 PERSONAL STYLE CLASS
If you have poor shopping experiences and even worse changing room ones then this is the class for you !
You'll learn the shapes, styles, accessories, fabrics and patterns that work for you. Imagine going shopping and knowing exactly what to buy to make you look and feel wonderful so you can build a flexible and interesting capsule wardrobe to suit your lifestyle. How fantastic would it be to feel confident that you look your best for every occasion, formal or informal without running to the shops first! Well the great news is that after this class you will.
- A Personal Style session in a small group is 350 euro for a full day including your personal style book & lunch
- A private session is 425 euro for a full day incl style book & lunch
STEP 3 SHOP WITH ME !
I will shop with you to find the items you are currently missing in your wardrobe that look fabulous on you. From perfect basics, an amazing coat or that special item. Result is new items in your wardrobe to create new combinations for several occasions. I will do the pre-work for you so we know where to go without wasting time. It will be FUN!
- A SHOP with me session costs 80 euro per hour
BOOK ALL 3 sessions and benefit from this Complete Journey price of 799 euro (this incl 2 hours of shopping and 1 hour of pre-work from my side) !
It really is the best way to look and feel fantastic by learning how to invest wisely and make the right choices for you colour & stylewise. I look forward to meeting you and helping you discover the colours & styles that make you look and feel great. It is the BEST investment you can make in yourself and will last you a lifetime !
I offer as well:
*Wardrobe sessions in which we go through your closet together to create new combinations, re-discover items you don't wear, decide what you miss in your wardrobe and what can stay and what can go. A great session to refresh your own wardrobe, 2-2,5 hours for 250 euro.
I also enjoy being a speaker for groups and give presentations for companies. Feel free to contact me through email or phone for more information or to book a session.

View TestimonialMaud is, naast een zeer innemende en stijlvolle vrouw, niet de doorsnee styliste die jou een stijl wil opleggen. Ik vind haar erg correct en invoelend. Ze is een wereldwijze vrouw en dat merk je direct. Haar advies is subtiel en helder. Je merkt aan Maud dat ze een doel voor ogen heeft en dat is jou tot de beste versie van jezelf helpen maken. Ik heb ontzettend veel aan haar advies gehad en ze heeft de spijker op zijn kop geslagen. En dat terwijl ik altijd al met kleding en makeup bezig ben en zelfs al eens een styliste in de arm heb genomen. Die staat nu ver in de schaduw van Maud. Na haar advies weet ik precies welke tinten én welke kledingstijl ik het beste kan dragen en waarom. Mijn aangeklede leven ziet er ineens 180 graden anders uit. Ik vond het shoppen in het begin lastig, omdat er zoveel afvalt wat niet mijn tint is, mijn stijl of mijn stof. Maar ik krijg er zo'n fijne kledingkast voor terug. Alles in mijn kast is leuk, staat me leuk en - voor mij cruciaal - combineert met elkaar. Met alle dank aan Maud die me letterlijk kleur heeft gegeven. Ik kan iedereen haar ten zeerste aanraden!

View TestimonialIk heb bij Maud de kleuren - en stijlsessie gedaan en ben daar echt heel blij mee. De uitkomst van de kleursessie had ik totaal niet verwacht. Maar nu ik eraan gewend ben voelt het heel goed. Het klopt.
Wat ik zo enorm goed vind aan Maud is dat ze zonder vooroordeel bleef kijken naar welke kleuren mij het beste passen. Het was niet direct duidelijk maar ze bleef doorkijken totdat het echt helemaal zeker was.
De stijlsessie was een groot thuiskomen en veel herkenning. Nu begrijp ik waarom ik bepaalde dingen nooit aandoe, ook al zijn ze in principe mooi. En waarom ik andere dingen fijn vindt. Dat MAG dus ook gewoon omdat het bij mij past.
Ik weet wat te dragen en wat niet. Tot en met het soort stoffen en snit aan toe. Geeft zoveel richting en helderheid. Ik hoef nu niet meer te twijfelen over of het welk of niet past. Mijn oude garderobe staat op Marktplaats
Ik raad Maud zeer zeker aan! Heel fijne vrouw die je niets aanpraat. De beste tip die ik van haar kreeg was: bij twijfel niet doen. Het moet minstens een 8 zijn.

View TestimonialAfter having serious doubts about a previous color analysis in another system and struggling with colors for many years I can only say how happy I am that my mom and I decided to take the 3 hour drive for an analysis by Maud. It was everything I hoped for and more!
My analysis was a bit of a surprise, and it was amazing to see my best colors lifting up my face and it was a truly emotional experience.
My mom’s analysis was more of a shock than a surprise, but what a pleasant one!! She looked years younger and happier in her right colors. It was downright amazing! Maud is very friendly and experienced and she takes the time to make sure you see the effect of the right colors yourself. What I really LOVED is that she doesn’t try to work to a presumed season, but really looks at your face and let the colors work their magic, without prejudice.
The cherry on top of the cake for me is the makeup advice and the available products. I’ve always struggled to find a good lipstick, and the House of Colour system Maud uses, offers great makeup and lipsticks for each season. There’s no pressure to buy anything, but your analysis also contains a makeup advice you can also use for future purchases.
Curious about your absolute best colors? Book an appointment with Maud!

Wardrobe edit - £85.00/hr (plus travel expenses) I can help you check individual items for colour and style, sort your clothes into capsule wardrobes as well as mix and match items to create outfits you didn't know you already had.

This is a great thing to do before going on a shopping trip or for just organising your life.
Shopping trip - £85.00/hr (plus travel expenses) this is a great way to consolidate your learning so far. Let me teach you how to shop for your colours and styles. We first clarify what you are shopping for be it a special occasion, a holiday or an entire new wardrobe. Typically we go to Brent Cross, and start with John Lewis, we do a "supermarket sweep" of everything in your colours and style that might work and then go into the changing rooms to see what works. We sort items into "yes", "no" and "maybe" and it is up to you what you spend. Some clients do this once and learn how to shop for themselves others come once or twice a year for a wardrobe re-vamp. You will need to have had your colours done and completed the Personal Style Class to make the most of this trip. This is a really efficient way to get your wardrobe to where you need it to be as well as a fun and enjoyable personal shopping experience.

View TestimonialHi Lynn, I just wanted to say thank you for a really fun and informative class last Thursday doing your colour analysis class. What can I say.....?
Even though we knew I was probably going to be an Autumn it was great to see and learn a whole spectrum of colours that suit me that I would never have thought of wearing and are so much more fun than browns.
The make up leasson was a real surprise and bonus... and of course I love the products and new colours.
The day after the class I was told how well I looked and I think the kids thought they had a new mum when we went out Saturday evening dressed in the right colours.
There is so much more I could write with how much I learnt in the class, it was way more than ever I anticipated, surpassed expectations by far and of course being taught by yourself who has a real passion and skill for what you do.

View TestimonialI went along to meet Lynn and have my colours done along with a good friend. The workshop was really interesting and very enjoyable and both Fiona and I came away feeling a lot more confident with regards to what looks good and definitely what doesn’t! Back Home I dug out my colour booklet and went through some of my wardrobe and to my relief my latest dress was all the right colours, phew. On looking through my wardrobe I, like most women, have umpteen pairs of black, trousers, tops, jumpers and it was time to get a grip!
Having a milestone birthday fast approaching and a girlie holiday to cater for. I decided that armed with my colour swatches I would inject some colour into my life. Lynn you would be proud of me!! I’m now really excited about my holiday I’ve chosen three bright colours which can be mixed and matched and for the first time in years feel really confident with what I’ve bought and can’t wait to wear them. Thank you for inspiring me, it has made me not dread being 50, if you look and feel good with what you wear age is just a number.

View TestimonialHello Lynn, I just wanted to take the opportunity to say a proper thank you for all your advice, support and encouragement over the last three days. 😊
I really was completely clueless about everything from clothes to colour to make-up and I now I am putting on a basic make-up every morning, I am looking more critically at the clothes and colour in my wardrobe and I feel that I could face my ultimate hate and go shopping and enjoy the experience - I haven't yet plucked up the courage, but I am working on it! 😉
I visited my mum after our make-up session on Wednesday and she was so struck by how "pretty" I looked that I had to pose for photos and everything - something we've not done in years! My husband was also suitable impressed by my "war paint" and kept looking at me and grinning, so all in all a very successful experience.
You have made me feel like I will turn 40 as a grown-up and not as someone pretending to be, so once again a very BIG thank you

A little bit about me...
I have run my experienced franchise for the last 30 years and work from my studio in Bentley, Farnham Surrey. I work as a Personal & Corporate Colour and Image Consultant. I still love it, and seeing my clients develop and become their best self that they can be, then hearing about the results and changes to their lives.

My HOC Story:
I was first introduced to HOC colour and style analysis myself 33 years ago as a client. I am passionate about the life-changing benefits it brought me and love to create the same for my great clients.
I immediately realised I had found the last part of my marketing jigsaw, how to market people effectively, so I then became a consultant with House of Colour later that year back in 93. This has been one of the most amazing experiences of my life. I have great personal & corporate clients and I love to see the WOW factor transformations & hear the success stories, business and personal, when clients become all they are and can be, when they know how!
Let the House of Colour experience change your wardrobe and your life as it did for mine.

Colour Analysis
-
Transform getting dressed everyday into an effortless and joyful experience with our life-changing colour analysis.
Through precision-dyed drapes and my expert training, I provide you with invaluable insights of knowing your season; a palette of colours customised to your unique undertones. Our approach is inclusive, serving people of all ages, races, ethnicities, and genders, ensuring that your season remains a timeless guide throughout your life.
Experience the three essential components of our colour sessions:
First is our world-class, scientific draping process that we have refined for excellence and accuracy over the past four decades. Next, I will provide advice on jewellery, watches, glasses, and, when applicable, hair and makeup based on your season. Our makeup eliminates the guesswork, enhancing your natural beauty with colours perfectly suited to you. Finally, we’ll dive further into your season as we identify the best colours for both your casual and professional life, uncovering your collection of WOW colours.
You will leave your appointment equipped with a fan of your seasonal swatches and a tailored brochure filled with personalised tips and reminders specific to you, empowering you to confidently shop for and wear your new colours!
For optimal accuracy, arrive at your analysis without spray tans or makeup. Your privacy is paramount, so no photos will be taken or shared on social media without your consent.
Style Analysis
-
Discover the science and psychology behind personal style by unlocking the power of you. During a style analysis, I'll empower you to seamlessly combine your inner self with your outward appearance, so you can step out into the world radiating confidence as your authentic self.
We consider your proportions, personality, and preferences to give you a style framework - we call this a “Clothing Personality."
You will confidently know which fabrics, prints, patterns, accessories, necklines, details, and silhouettes flatter your unique body architecture best. By integrating your personality into this framework, our style analysis transcends mere fashion guidance, going a step further to help you identify how you feel in different styles and pieces, ensuring that your wardrobe not only reflects your style but also represents your individuality.
For this appointment, you’ll bring 5–10 items from your closet that you LOVE and 5–10 that make you wonder why you don’t feel good when putting them on. Together, we’ll use this information to help you discover why you gravitated toward and loved certain pieces and what it is about the others that weren’t working for you, saving you time and money in the future! At House of Colour, we believe clothing needs to be adjusted to you, not the other way around. It is our goal to make sure you feel your most confident as who you are and how you look right now.
You’ll leave with a book with detailed information specific to you that we’ll fill out during the appointment and a Clothing Personality card with keywords that will help guide you when shopping. If you’ve already had a colour analysis, this card can be inserted into your fan which will make shopping easy and efficient!
Advanced Colour Analysis
-
This appointment is ideal for those seeking to refresh or delve deeper into their seasonal palette. Together, we’ll discover your best neutrals and explore an array of colour combinations, empowering you to curate a capsule wardrobe that brings joy with every wear.
Experience tailored makeup recommendations, including your perfect lip colours, and receive expert advice on hair shades that perfectly harmonise with your palette.
You’ll also unlock the full potential of MyHOCLookBook as we guide you through organizing your wardrobe, identifying styling gaps, and igniting inspiration to experiment with new pieces.
Personal Shopping
-
My House of Colour personal shopping service will make finding new clothing, shoes, jewellery and accessories hassle-free. As your personal stylist, I will be offering you my time, via this service, as your very own personal shopper. You can personalise how I use this time so that it is completely tailored to your objectives and desires.
Whether you are looking for the perfect outfit for a special event, refreshing your wardrobe for the latest season, or just want expert guidance on how to continue looking your best, my personal shopping services are shaped around you and your goals.
There are a number of ways for you to personalise our House of Colour personal shopping service, for example:
- We can shop together in person
- I can conduct online personal shopping for you, buying items that I know work with your unique features, characteristics and personality
- I can undertake online personal shopping for you, saving items I believe would illuminate you and you can browse and buy at your own pace later.
Let me help you get to clothes you love faster, easier and with my expert guidance, so you can wear what fits, what flatters, and what feels like you with ease.
Wardrobe Edit
-
This appointment is designed to apply all the knowledge you gained in your colour and/or style analysis and appointment and apply it to your own wardrobe. Together, we'll filter through the pieces you don’t wear so you can donate or resell them, keeping your closet free from clutter so you can better mix and match pieces in your wardrobe to create more looks with fewer items.
This process liberates your closet from clutter, empowering you to effortlessly mix and match pieces to unlock endless styling possibilities with fewer items.

There is a wealth of knowledge, experience and psychology behind the techniques and information that Linda shares. There was a lot of invaluable information that could make a massive difference.

This was borne out in the number of questions and the discussion that went on right through lunch and even continued after the meeting ended.

View TestimonialLinda, I had meant to get round to this a week ago. But on top of the official feedback (which I hope that you got back) that your session was extremely well received by all delegates and rated very positively in the feedback ... I wanted to express my gratitude for your impact on me personally. Those few hours have had a bigger impact on me than any other single event in my life for some years. Somehow by giving a name to the contradictory sides of myself and therefore, in a sense, resolving the conflict, it was like flicking a switch in me ... and has given me the confidence to 'wear my own clothes' as it were. But far more importantly it has given me a massive boost in self-belief to do concrete things to fulfil my vision for myself. Anyway, look forward to meeting you again at the March course and again a really big thank you.

My name is Karina, and I am an award winning senior Colour Analyst, Image Consultant and Personal Stylist for Kirklees, Penistone, North Sheffield and Wakefield.
My name is Karina, and I am an award winning senior Colour Analyst, Image Consultant and Personal Stylist for Kirklees, Penistone, North Sheffield and Wakefield. My purpose is to empower and inspire people to be the best version of their physical and authentic self. I enable clients to make better choices, look more attractive, feel more confident and save time and money. Your image tells a story; let me help you ensure the outside is in sync with the qualities you have inside.
My franchise was established in 2008, and I am now one of the leading UK based consultants, supporting clients locally, nationally and internationally.
Have you ever thought:
- What colours suit me?
- What colour makeup should I wear?
- What should I wear with what?
- How do I accessorise?
- What styles suit my body shape?
- How do I project a strong professional image?
Have you ever felt:
- Invisible, drab, frumpy?
- Overwhelmed by shopping?
- In need of a boast?
- Curious about colour and style?
- Style-less
- Uncomfortable in the clothes you have bought and/or frustrated by the unworn clothes in your wardrobe?
Knowing what works and what doesn't is enormously empowering and saves so much time and money by not making all those impulsive (or sometimes well thought through) mistakes. When your clothing really fits, there is a visual integration between your clothes and you. Your clothes look like they belong, which is the difference between looking average and looking great.
So a little about me; I've lived in Yorkshire for 21 years; it's home now, but I have lived all over including a period overseas. I'm married to Paul, have two gorgeous children age 17 and 18 and a furbaby called Candy. I'm not some mythical figure who is 5ft 11 and weighs 8 stone and floats around behind the scenes at London Fashion Week. I'm a busy working mum, juggling a business and the demands of a family. In my spare time I love power walking, going to the gym, cinema and catching up with friends. My passions in life have always been fashion, music, metaphysics and cream teas! I view style as art, a never ending evolving medium which tells a story.
The details:
Your visual style is the sum of 3 parts:
- Architectural shape and proportions - this is the technical side to the clothing industry.
- Style personality - this is your most authentic visual self..
- Colouring - this is the glue that holds it all together and influences your hair, makeup and clothing colour choices.
I offer various packages depending on your requirements. Below is a synopsis of core services.
Core offerings for both men and women:
Colour consultation:
I will demonstrate how you too can look your best in colours which suit your natural skin colouring. Understanding what colours suit you is the underlying secret to getting your makeup and clothing right.

Take away your leather wallet containing the swatches of all your colours, plus a booklet with personalised notes on how to start building your wardrobe.

I view each and everyone of you as a work of art, mixing colour, textures, shapes, scale and proportions to create a signature look. Just like an artist though, he/she doesn't become a master overnight; it's a journey. I will assist you on your long and rewarding process of discovery.
I stay with you as long as you need me. I offer:
- Style inspiration boards.
- Online and in person personal shopping
- Online and physical wardrobe edits
Eyewear
60% of adults over 40 wear glasses, this rises to 90% of over 50's. I have shopped with clients for eyewear for years, but frustrated that we couldn't consistently source the right style of frame + colour, I decided to train as an Eye Wear Stylist in 2020.
Choosing frames has never been so easy or reassuring. I work with VIP Eyewear as my Optical Dispensary, and style using the Italian IGreen solution, which is fully bespoke and customisable.
We select the frame, choose the colour and then choose the sides. All frames are made to order in Italy. I work with a large choice of frames and a wide choice of colour.
So not only do I ensure the right clothes go in your wardrobe, I ensure the most flattering eyewear sits on your face.
I hour eyewear consultations cost £25 + the cost of your eyewear.
Consultations are available during the week and every other Saturday. My studio is based in Oxspring, which is outside Penistone. Consultations are relaxed, fun and informative. Once you've been you will wonder why you didn't come years ago.
If you'd like any more information, please phone or email me. Scheduled consultations are listed, but if these aren't suitable, then please suggest an alternative date.
I very much look forward to meeting you.
#Align with style.
Best wishes

View TestimonialSo, how could colour change your life? Well it has amazingly changed mine, since my colour analysis by Karina Leacock back in January 2015 I've had the confidence to change the colours in my wardrobe and makeup bag getting rid of all those clothes and makeup that never really suited me. Shopping is a real pleasure now something I really hated before and I'm getting a buzz from all the colour combinations I am able to achieve. I know sticking to my colour palate really works and I can spot the colours that best suit me easily, I know they will all work together thus saving me money in the long run. I feel so much more confident, I've joined a college course sorted out a long running family issue and flown to the USA on my own, I truly believe I have achieved this because of the colour changes I have made and the input Karina gave me in how to use them as I feel so much more confident as a person wearing them, it may seem small changing your colour palate but it has made a huge impact on my life and my husband is singing the praises of it too. This was the best investment I have ever made for me.Thank you

View TestimonialI was bought a Men's colour and style day as a present. I have to admit that I really did not think that this would be for me, but I went for my day with an open mind. To the surprise of my friends and family (and myself !) I found the day both enjoyable and enlightening, gaining a real insight and understanding into the impact of colour and style, in terms of the colours and shapes best suited to my own tones and personality. Having now refreshed my wardrobe based on the learning from the day, I feel confident, smart and stylish in all that I wear, with this reflected back through positive feedback from others. This has certainly made a difference for me, and I have been genuinely surprised and delighted how the learning from one day has had and continues to have such an impact. Thank you Karina.

View TestimonialMy daughter persuaded my husband to buy me this as a Christmas gift. It was indeed `timely’. I’d entered the phase of `late middle age’ and to be blunt, I’d lost my sartorial compass. I was never what one could call a clothes horse but I’d begun to feel invisible. What did my image say about me? Did I even have an image? Having watched several episodes of What Not to Wear, I was treading a middle ground between boring and tragic. Oh, how I envied those defiant rule breakers who just didn’t care.
Karina was brilliant in that she inspired us all to make the most of our physical attributes and to identify clear steps forward. Style is not to be confused with fashion; style is your personal statement, your signature. Fashion changes but personal style reflects the inner `you’, whatever one’s age. Karina’s objective was to set us on the path to developing a practical & easy set of guidelines. By knowing what to look for when selecting clothing, anyone can feel good about their appearance, thus releasing time and energy to devote to weightier matters.

View TestimonialColour, Style and a Personal Shopping Trip!
After attending Karina’s personal style day, I was instantly clear which clothing shapes not to wear but felt I did not have the confidence to go out and buy what I ought to be wearing in order to look great. My main aim was to buy some key workwear items.
I asked Karina to accompany me on a personal shopping trip. I was a little anxious that she may suggest items that I would not feel comfortable wearing. However, she has the skills and experience to spot items immediately in terms of the right colour and style and she selected many many items that I should try. Everything looked great and I could see instantly what Karina could see. I bought lots of items and came away absolutely delighted with the capsule wardrobe that Karina had created for me. I now feel smart and modern and am constantly receiving compliments about how smart I look. I would wholeheartedly recommend Karina’s services.
I have had successful shopping trips since my day with Karina, as I can now see for myself what she taught me on the day.

View TestimonialColour, Style and a Personal Shopping Trip!
My colour analysis session with Karina helped me to rebuild my confidence after the breakdown of a relationship. The impact was immediate and I was shocked by how many compliments I received. After attending the style day I was clear about what shapes and styles I should be wearing but still not entirely confident about what to buy. I asked Karina to accompany me on a shopping trip. She was able to immediately spot items I would not have had the confidence to try before. We had a really fun day and I was thrilled with my new colourful capsule wardrobe Karina created for me.
I now have much more confidence in my purchases and am now much more willing to try new styles. Whatever your age and style, I can recommend Karina. I believe the colour analysis is the best investment I have made and friends have commented how much more confident and happy I am.
Thank you Karina!

View TestimonialI recently had an advanced colour session with Karina, having had my initial colour analysis done just over a year ago.
I had some issues with my car on the way over to see Karina so I was slightly flustered on arrival. Karina was really lovely, warm and welcoming though, so I was soon in a wonderful bubble of colour and calm!
I would highly recommend advanced colour to anyone who has already been living for a while in their colour palette. It really takes things to the next level. Having been wearing my colours for over a year, I am so much more familiar with them now compared to when I was initially draped, so I was ready to have a much deeper dive.
It was lovely to be draped again- this time with different colour combinations and lipsticks. It has really inspired me to try new combinations and to identify gaps in my wardrobe.
I have realised I need to invest in a few more items in my spring neutrals and also focus a bit more on accessories in my palette.
Knowing my colours and style personality have been real game changers for me and I love getting ready each day- I truly feel the most “me” I have ever felt. I would highly recommend it, it is such a good investment, I shop so much more carefully and intentionally now.
I would also highly recommend Karina- she is so knowledgeable and is such a nurturing, positive person.

Together, we’ll discover your season: Spring, Summer, Autumn or Winter — and from there, the colours that light you up and make you feel unstoppable.
Then we dive into style. Using a structured framework that respects your body architecture, personality, and lifestyle, we’ll uncover the shapes, fabrics, and looks that feel like home — but better.
This is a process that equips you, not changes you. It puts you back in charge of how you show up in the world.
Why now? Because life’s too short to feel “meh” in your clothes
You don’t need to wait until you lose weight, have more time, or feel ready. That day may never come — but confidence can start today. I know from experience that this process isn’t just about clothes. It’s about identity, joy, ease, freedom — and showing up in your life with intention.
And if you’re someone who’s always said, “I don’t like change”? You’re exactly who I want to work with. Because this isn’t about change — it’s about coming home to the version of you that’s been waiting all along.
You deserve to feel great every time you get dressed
And I’d love to help you get there. From my quiet home studio in Prestwood, I offer 1:1 colour analysis and personal style consultations that are fun, relaxed, and deeply empowering. Whether you’re 18 or 80, just starting out in life or navigating a big transition, this process will change how you see yourself — and how the world sees you, too.
Let’s make getting dressed the easiest, most joyful part of your day.
Style Class - Instead of a 4-5 hour session in my studio, you can now take your Style class over 2 or 3 sessions in the comfort of your own home! With a little bit of prep done by you in advance, we will schedule the sessions to suit your availability spread over several days so you get time to digest each section and have space to ask questions in your next session. You'll have a chance to show me your wardrobe and you'll learn all aspects of your body shape and how to dress it. We'll look at your personality and see how best to reflect this in the way you dress.
Style Review - If you've taken your Style class already, but feel you need a refresh and a reminder to go through some specifics, revisit style principles, delve deeper into colour understanding and ask those questions you might have, then this is the session for you. I charge my hourly rate of £80 which can be booked to suit your time -frame.
Wardrobe Edit - This is a great time to get your wardrobe sorted! With a wardrobe edit you can learn lots of hints and tips for getting more versatility out of your wardrobe and learning how to make new outfits from what you have already have. Remember, your wardrobe isn't a museum, it's your toolkit.
Online Shopping & Style Look Books - following a wardrobe review you'll be clear on what’s missing from your existing wardrobe so I’ll create a shopping plan and outfit recommendations.
Wake Up Your Make-up - Take some time to refresh your lockdown look! If you want to learn how to create a no-make-up look, how to make your eyes pop or try something new, then this session is for you. £100 for a 2 hour session.
Becoming a Colour & Personal Style consultant is the realisation of my dream. I always wanted to spend my working hours doing something I love, something for me and something I've always been interested in. I've been through the Colour & Style experience with House of Colour myself so I know first-hand how much it's given me, not just in how I look and the image I present but also in how I feel and the courage it has given me to achieve what I want in life. I love what I do and I love helping others to make the best of themselves.
And that is what you get from me - more confidence to make the very best of yourself. From doing the school run to going for a promotion, a big night out or your friend's wedding. Whatever the occasion it means:
- Never standing in front of your wardrobe having nothing to wear.
- Never worrying about what you look like when you do put an outfit together.
The old me liked the idea of shopping but didn't look forward to it. Let me show you how to strategically shop and to really enjoy doing it. My clients tell me that I take the anguish and the stress away so that they can concentrate on being the best that they can be in whatever they do. I believe that looking at your Colour & Style can do this - helping you achieve whatever you want to achieve.
I have dates for my Colour, Style and Make-up classes listed, however if there is another class you'd like to attend then please contact me so we can arrange a date for you to come and see me. Other classes include:
- Wake Up Your Make-Up: A 2 hour Class where I show you how to refresh and create on trend make up looks. During this session you can try new products, fresh looks and ideas and plan for the party season ahead. You will take home a booklet with top tips for your new looks in it. Cost £100.
- Colour & Style for Men: It's not just women that want to look good! Come and spend a day with me and let me give you the skills that will keep you looking great for the rest of your life. You'll learn exactly what colours look great on you and I'll show you how to dress for your individual body shape and personality for every sector of your life from work through to your hobbies, social and family life. Cost £605.
- Colour Re Rate: If you've had your colours analysed a while ago, why not consider coming back for a colour re-rate and refresh? Whilst your season stays the same, as we age our hair and skin colour can change. Let me re-rate your colours and give you a fresh look at them and what works on you now. Cost £120.
- Kids Colour: Wearing the right colours matters for youngsters too - you probably remember having your favourite colours and clothes as a child. Bring your child or teenager to see me for a Kids colour class and not only will they learn what colours they look amazing in, you will know the right colour clothes to buy or select the right hand-me-downs to keep. Your investment will pay dividends as they get older and take control of what they buy and wear: kids and teens alike gain self-esteem from a lifetime's understanding of their best colours. Cost £120.
- Fast Track Colour & Style: If you are short of time then come to a Fast Track session which gives you Colour, Style and Make-up in one day. This is a highly focused one-to-one coaching session including lunch and refreshments. Alternatively, bring a friend, partner or colleague to share the day with. This is also a great package if you are looking for corporate gifts or incentive awards for staff. Cost £655 for a 1:1.
- Shopping Trip: To have advice whilst shopping is invaluable. Let me teach you how to find new looks and be more effective at creating a wardrobe that works for your lifestyle. Whether you are updating your existing wardrobe or creating a new one, let me guide you to try on the right clothes that are in your seaon and fit your clothing personality. It's great fun and I'll find you things you may never have considered before. Cost from £75 per hour.
- Wardrobe Edit: If you are not sure where to start or can't face doing it alone, let me come to you for a wardrobe review and de-clutter. I can remove the stress of letting go of those items you are emotionally attached to and help you create a wardrobe of clothes that work for your lifestyle. The monsters in your wardrobe will be banished forever and you'll never suffer a crisis of confidence again! Cost from £75 per hour.
- Gift Vouchers: Are you looking for that special gift that lasts a lifetime? Treat that special person in your life (or suggest it to them for you!) to a voucher for any of my classes or HoC products for as little as £10.
If you would like to discuss any sessions with me then please call me on 07986 062460 for a chat. I am also available for talks and presentations.
I look forward to speaking to you soon!
Jenny.
My Services
Ready to look and feel your best? I help you find your perfect colours, define your personal style and shop with confidence, so you build a wardrobe that flatters, fits your lifestyle and makes getting dressed effortless.
Colour Analysis
-
Transform getting dressed everyday into an effortless and joyful experience with our life-changing colour analysis.
Through precision-dyed drapes and my expert training, I provide you with invaluable insights of knowing your season; a palette of colours customised to your unique undertones. Our approach is inclusive, serving people of all ages, races, ethnicities, and genders, ensuring that your season remains a timeless guide throughout your life.
Experience the three essential components of our colour sessions:
First is our world-class, scientific draping process that we have refined for excellence and accuracy over the past four decades. Next, I will provide advice on jewellery, watches, glasses, and, when applicable, hair and makeup based on your season. Our makeup eliminates the guesswork, enhancing your natural beauty with colours perfectly suited to you. Finally, we’ll dive further into your season as we identify the best colours for both your casual and professional life, uncovering your collection of WOW colours.
You will leave your appointment equipped with a fan of your seasonal swatches and a tailored brochure filled with personalised tips and reminders specific to you, empowering you to confidently shop for and wear your new colours!
For optimal accuracy, arrive at your analysis without spray tans or makeup. Your privacy is paramount, so no photos will be taken or shared on social media without your consent.
Style Analysis
-
Discover the science and psychology behind personal style by unlocking the power of you. During a style analysis, I'll empower you to seamlessly combine your inner self with your outward appearance, so you can step out into the world radiating confidence as your authentic self.
We consider your proportions, personality, and preferences to give you a style framework - we call this a “Clothing Personality."
You will confidently know which fabrics, prints, patterns, accessories, necklines, details, and silhouettes flatter your unique body architecture best. By integrating your personality into this framework, our style analysis transcends mere fashion guidance, going a step further to help you identify how you feel in different styles and pieces, ensuring that your wardrobe not only reflects your style but also represents your individuality.
For this appointment, you’ll bring 5–10 items from your closet that you LOVE and 5–10 that make you wonder why you don’t feel good when putting them on. Together, we’ll use this information to help you discover why you gravitated toward and loved certain pieces and what it is about the others that weren’t working for you, saving you time and money in the future! At House of Colour, we believe clothing needs to be adjusted to you, not the other way around. It is our goal to make sure you feel your most confident as who you are and how you look right now.
You’ll leave with a book with detailed information specific to you that we’ll fill out during the appointment and a Clothing Personality card with keywords that will help guide you when shopping. If you’ve already had a colour analysis, this card can be inserted into your fan which will make shopping easy and efficient!
Wardrobe Edit
-
This appointment is designed to apply all the knowledge you gained in your colour and/or style analysis and appointment and apply it to your own wardrobe. Together, we'll filter through the pieces you don’t wear so you can donate or resell them, keeping your closet free from clutter so you can better mix and match pieces in your wardrobe to create more looks with fewer items.
This process liberates your closet from clutter, empowering you to effortlessly mix and match pieces to unlock endless styling possibilities with fewer items.
Personal Shopping
-
My House of Colour personal shopping service will make finding new clothing, shoes, jewellery and accessories hassle-free. As your personal stylist, I will be offering you my time, via this service, as your very own personal shopper. You can personalise how I use this time so that it is completely tailored to your objectives and desires.
Whether you are looking for the perfect outfit for a special event, refreshing your wardrobe for the latest season, or just want expert guidance on how to continue looking your best, my personal shopping services are shaped around you and your goals.
There are a number of ways for you to personalise our House of Colour personal shopping service, for example:
- We can shop together in person
- I can conduct online personal shopping for you, buying items that I know work with your unique features, characteristics and personality
- I can undertake online personal shopping for you, saving items I believe would illuminate you and you can browse and buy at your own pace later.
Let me help you get to clothes you love faster, easier and with my expert guidance, so you can wear what fits, what flatters, and what feels like you with ease.

View TestimonialHi Jenny,
Thank you so much again for my style afternoon. I had such a lovely time!
I'm a changed person now. I wear my 90 second make up every day, I'm wearing dresses at work during weekend dinner services, and I'm a lot more thoughtful about what I wear on the other occasions as well. I've had lots of complements to boot! I was given a John Lewis voucher for my birthday so I'm excited to use that on some new clothes to fill my wardrobe gaps. I've also seen a change at work - my employers have been very complimentary on how well I'm doing, maybe there's change on the horizon, who knows!

Just wanted to say thank you SO much for the colour analysis. I had a fantastic morning with you and took a lot from it. I am hoping to get out shopping soon (time is very limited with two little ones) and looking forward to taking my new palette with me and exploring new colours. I will be back to see you again in the future for the style session...
Thanks again

Feeling Invisible?
There are many reasons we can feel stuck or invisible. Life or work changes, illness, babies, caring responsibilities, bereavement, milestone birthdays, menopause...
As a working mum at the end of my thirties I was lost in black and beige. Never pulling off the look I wanted and buying clothes on impulse because they looked good on other people. I went to work in the styles I thought I needed to wear and never really felt like myself.
When I booked a House of Colour session for a big birthday, I had no idea that it would profoundly transform the way I looked and felt about myself. I was suddenly visible again and started getting more compliments than I'd had since my early twenties! I was so impressed with the results that I went on to attend a Style session. This was when it all clicked into place - I was able to put together the right shapes and personality of clothes to reflect who I am. All the colours in my wardrobe worked together and they all worked with me. I no longer had panic attacks about what to wear and knew exactly what to buy, which saved me money.
It also gave me the confidence to strike out on my own and I started working for myself as a Change Learning Consultant and Life Coach. With this more flexible working pattern, I jumped at the chance to train as a House of Colour Style Consultant in 2009.
I now have over 16 years’ experience of helping private and corporate clients (in S Manchester for the first 15) and I've been lucky to work with some fabulous fashion brands such as Uniqlo and Phase Eight - even appearing on the BBC's Breakfast sofa.

View Testimonial"Thank you SO much for the colour analysis session last week. It was a revelation - fabulous fun and incredibly informative in equal measures! Quite honestly, our session has reignited my enjoyment for clothes and make-up shopping (rather than leaving me feeling slightly despondent as it might have done previously). Not only have I used my newly acquired knowledge about 'my colours' to shop for a new outfit for an important event, I've also tweaked my hair and make-up too. Plus, how useful is the swatch wallet?? I've been able to zone in on choices that will work for my look much more confidently - so efficient and helpful. Needless to say, I've already recommended your services to friends and family. Thanks Fyona!"

The proof is - I have worn my make-up every day since Saturday and have received SO MANY compliments! I've purged my wardrobe too and am now wearing blue, grey, coral and green (no black!)"

I love helping people feel confident about themselves through colour & style, and would love to hear from you!
My story
I was first introduced to House of Colour when I was given a colour analysis class as a present over ten years ago. At the time, I had no idea what a huge impact colour has on the way we look and feel. Like a lot of people, I mainly wore black and didn’t have the confidence to experiment with colour. I now know that I was wearing colours that make me look unfriendly and insignificant - not exactly the impression I wanted to create!
My colour, style and make up consultations all had a huge impact on me - on my wardrobe, my appearance, and my self-belief - giving me the confidence to leave a successful 10 year career in the civil service and run my own business as a House of Colour consultant. It has also given me the confidence to build my business over the past twelve years to become one of the companies' top 10 consultants (UK & Rest of the World).
Now that I understand the difference it makes when we wear the right colours and styles, I’m passionate about helping as many people as possible to build their confidence and unlock their potential. Everyone deserves to look and feel good about themselves every single day - it has a huge impact on every area of our lives. I put 100% into making sure my clients have a fantastic experience, feel supported and inspired, and gain the knowledge and tools they need to understand exactly what suits them and why.
Over the last few years in particular, I've felt grateful that I know how to use colour and style to keep feeling positive and motivated, and that I can help and support others to do the same. The feedback I've been getting from my clients about how wearing their colours and styles has helped them to get through some difficult times has been incredible to hear.
How I can support you
If you’re ready to make a change and discover the best you, I can support you to:
- Understand the right colours and styles for you, and why they suit you, so you have certainty you're wearing something that makes you look your best.

View TestimonialMy House of Colour experiences have been brilliant (colour/style/make up) - without exception. I loved the chance to learn about what really suited me and why. Knowing that personality and body shape influence our styles meant that I walked away feeling unique rather than comparing myself to others and not feeling good enough. It's a massive confidence boost and something that leaves a lasting impression. In large part this is down to my consultant, Ali. I was beyond impressed at her knowledge, professionalism and instinctive expertise in guiding me and encouraging me to discover my unique style. Each class was the perfect mix of learning and fun and I am always looking for excuses to do more! I have recommended Ali to family and friends, bought vouchers for others and invited her to do a presentation at work. I want as many people as possible to benefit from what she offers. She is brilliant! An inspiration to all!

I haven't worn fake tan since my colour class as Ali taught me that my pale skin looks great with the right colours and I only look washed out in the wrong colours. The colour class also taught me that I can wear bold lipsticks, which I now wear every day! The style class also taught me so many things, such as why certain necklaces don't suit me. Finding out that my style personality is quite formal has been an enormous relief, as I could never work out before why casual styles that suited my friends didn't suit me. Ali's bubbly personality and enthusiasm made each class really fun! I would thoroughly recommend taking a colour and style class with Ali.

View TestimonialI had a colour consultation with Ali recently and was amazed at how much colour can affect my appearance. Ali tried some really bright lipsticks on me and the difference was astounding. I bought 2 lipsticks and have been wearing them everyday since and the number of compliments I have had as a result has been very flattering. I really didn't think that colour would make such a difference, I really just went along with a friend for a laugh, but I would definitely recommend that everyone should get a colour consultation and learn how small things can make them appear and feel so much more attractive, vibrant and in control. I'm even getting my mum a consultation for her birthday!

View TestimonialMy colour class with Ali provided a huge, much needed confidence boost after having my second baby and feeling constantly rushed and frumpy. I can't thank her enough for the fantastic 90 second make-up tips, and her advice on the colours that make me look most energised (even when I'm exhausted!). A day with Ali should be available on prescription for all new mums! Well worth the investment. My shopping trips are now much more focussed (and therefore much quicker), and I'm not wasting a ton of money on clothes that don't actually suit me that well - and all for the price of a pair of jeans! Thanks, Ali!

View TestimonialMy wardrobe review with Ali - Wow, this was 2 hours so well spent, my wardrobe is now decluttered, with a capsule wardrobe of clothes that are the right colours and style for me which means it is so easy to find things to wear in the morning. Ali’s approach is very supportive; she doesn’t expect you to throw away everything from your wardrobe but advises you on how to make best use of what you do have, what would be the next best thing to buy to update your wardrobe and how to ensure going forward any new buys always enhance what you have.
A shopping trip followed. This is taking personal shopping to a new level. With Ali this is an afternoon spent with someone who is fun, professional and knows which shops to head to just for you, your colouring and your style. Who doesn’t want to spend quality time shopping with someone who is using their expert eye to find the right clothes for you for the occasions you have in mind and knows what is going to look good on you? What are you waiting for?

View TestimonialThe colour workshop has transformed my life. For the first time ever I feel confident, and have had more compliments than when I was at my slimmest point in my life ever. I can now look at photos of myself in the correct colours and don't find many faults. After having my first child it gave me the boost I needed. Ali, is fantastic, patient and a realistic person. The support offered after the class is amazing. She helps you to change your wardrobe gradually but successfully, which is crucial for not feeling like you are spending a million pounds on new clothes. Since the class I now enjoy shopping, and every single item of clothing I own since the class is perfect and has been worn lots. No more 'bargain sale item's sitting in the back of the wardrobe. The best thing I've ever done in my life for my confidence. I would recommend to everyone.

Have YOU got a wardrobe full of clothes and nothing to wear?
Do you ever wonder if you've got "IT" right - whatever "IT" is?
Have you ever felt that you'd "lost your way" with your wardrobe?
I certainly did until I discovered House of Colour - I was so impressed with the results that I changed my career to become a Consultant Stylist with the company. That was nearly 30 years ago and it was the best decision I ever made!
Imagine having no more mistakes in your wardrobe? Did you know that the average woman in Britain wears 20% of her clothes 80% of the time? (That indicates that 80% are mistakes!) It makes not only financial sense to build your wardrobe from a knowledge base, but more importantly eco-friendly sense, minimum wastage and maximum sustainability!
Read on to find out how!
We offer many different courses and services to give you the knowledge of how to look good, and more importantly, feel good at all times. If you don't find a scheduled date for one of our services, or if none of the dates suit you, please contact me directly to arrange it.
Colour Analysis is where we identify the colours that best reflect your own colouring - everyone suits every colour, but it's the shade of the colour that makes the difference. You will also find out the makeup shades that complement you to complete your "look". You will go home with a fan containing fabric colour swatches of your season and a personalised booklet of information. 1:1 Session £265 Group Session £199
Developing your Personal Style is the other half of discovering your best and most authentic "look". We find out the shape and style of clothes that will flatter you the most and accentuate all your good points. It is a very comprehensive course which encompasses every aspect of your wardrobe organisation, your shopping habits and most importantly, your best styles of clothes using your body and face shapes, vertical proportions and your personality. It is 3/4 day course and you receive your personalised work book containing all the information you need to avoid making a mistake again. 1:1 £365 Group £299
The Make-up Workshop adds real impact and confidence. During this we explore different techniques to apply your make-up, with consideration given to skincare as well. Your preferences will dictate the different effects that can be achieved with your make-up; whether it is a natural look, vampy look, professional look ... it's up to you. It lasts approx 3 hours and again, you take away your personalised workbook. It is very "hands on" 2 - 3 hours 1:1 £100
These can be followed up with an advanced series of consultations
Advanced Colour 1:1 £200
Advanced Style 1:1 £200
Advanced Makeup 1:1 £120
Contact me for more details
I also offer personal styling advice, wardrobe edits and shopping trips - in fact, anything to enhance your experience to make you feel and look wonderful! Hourly rate £95
Other services include a wardrobe visit to review it's contents and discover the flexibility you will have mixing and matching the clothes you currently have - I guarantee you will find many more outfits than you ever imagined ... it's like shopping in your own wardrobe! £95 per hour.
Scarf Tying and Accessorising workshops are also available
The same services are available for Men also, at the same prices, and if you would like to find out what your child's colours are, that takes about an hour (depending on their age) and costs £100. (No fan but they get their colour booklet)

Why Work With Me...
I am passionate about helping my clients re-discover thier style and confidence. I believe we all deserve to look and feel great everyday, after all we need to dress everyday. So why not learn how to make less shopping mistakes and create a wardrobe, where instead of wearing 15% of it 80% of the time, you'll wear all of it 100% of the time, making you feel confident and stylish, so the compliments flow.
I know how this feels as this was once me. After a career break to bring up children, I lost my identity and style and felt totally invisible. I felt lack lustre about my wardrobe, my shape and I wasted far too much money on clothes that didn't fit or flatter my curvey body...
My journey with House of Colour changed that and with it my confidence. I learnt to accept my body shape and it's fluctuations and learnt how to dress it the best I could, authentically. It was the best investment in myself I ever made and the money I have saved over the years has more than paid for my consultations.
What My Clients Say...
I have worked with hundreds of men and women since I trained in 2014 and I am still in contact with many of them today. As your Personal Stylist this is the begining of a committment from me to continue helping you even after your consultation.
“Judi is warm, professional and inspiring. I learnt so much about my body shape and colours on my Transformational Day and so now I really enjoy and feel more confident shopping again and creating new and colourful outfits from my wardrobe!”
“My colour analysis consultation was such a fun, relaxed experience. I couldn’t believe the difference the right colours made to my skin. I always use to dress in black as it was safe but I now know it drains me and ages me. I feel like I have more clothes to wear as all my coloured clothes work together”
“Judi’s honest advice has saved me hundreds. I use to wear the same baggy clothes on repeat to hide my body as as I didn't have the confidence to try clothes that I thought wouldn't suit me. Now I know my best colours and styles to wear, I've got so much more confidence and so many more compliments.”
Clients often tell me they leave feeling more confident, more visible and more themselves and that’s exactly what personal styling and colour analysis is all about.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQS)
Q. How long does a Colour Analysis consultation take?
A. My Colour Analysis sessions take approximately 3 hours for a private session or 4-5 hours for groups of 2-3. My sessions are indepth as I use a 40 year tried and trusted science backed system to ensure I get accurate results. Clients recieve a talk on colour analysis to understand how and why it works, getting you 'to season', a make-over using colour matched House of Colour make-up products and finally a rating in all your seasonal colours, so you get to see all your individual colours on you and a rating to determine your best WOW colours. You leave with a colour fan and colour booklet.
Q. Will you tell me I can not wear black?
A. At House of Colour Rickmansworth I will show you that colours that illiminate you skin, make your eye sparkle and your hair colour shine. For most people black does the opposite for us. It ages us, drains us of colour and often makes us look ill. However, as your colour analyst and personal stylist, I am not about telling you what you can and can't wear but about showing you the best colours that work with your natural undertones, not against them. To find out more about wearing black read my House of Colour Blog about wearing black here.
Q. Is it true that my colours can change?
A. No. Your seasonal colours are determined by the undertones in your skin that you are born with and die with. They never change and so, once your seasonal colours are discovered they will NEVER change.
Q. What if I have a tan or let my hair go grey. Will this affect my colours?
A. No. Whether you have a tan or your hair has gone naturally grey, this doesn't affect your skin's undertones, so will not affect your seasonal cololurs.
Q. What is a 'Clothing Personality'?
A. On your Personal Style consulation I determine a clothing personality for you which is based on your unique body shape, which I measure so I can show you how to dress your body with balance and proportion, l also look at your personality - who you are on the inside, to show you how to wear that on the outside e,.g are you more quirky and edgy inside or more of a romantic who loves sparkle? Once I know these key pieces of information, I can can start you show you which detials look best in your clothing from necklines to patterns, scales to texture. When you know what works for you, you can start to build a wardrobe that works really hard for you without wasting money on items you buy and don't wear.
Q. Your Perosnal Style sessions are expensive, what will I learn?
A. I always ask my clients when they are looking to book a personal styling consultation with me to look at the clothes in their wardrobe, which still have labels on or which they bought and have maybe only worn once or twice. Or to think about how many clothes they sell on second hand selling platforms or send to charity shops because they don't wear them. The cost often is far greater than the price of a personal styling session. What you will gain is the knowledge about what styles and shapes suit you best, which necklines flatter you, which patterns and scales work with your body shape and personality, so you never make large budget mistakes again. Over time, a personal styling session will save you thousands.

Ready to look and feel your best? I help you find your perfect colours, define your personal style and shop with confidence, so you build a wardrobe that flatters, fits your life, and makes getting dressed effortless.
Colour Analysis
-
Transform getting dressed everyday into an effortless and joyful experience with our life-changing colour analysis.
Through precision-dyed drapes and my expert training, I provide you with invaluable insights of knowing your season; a palette of colours customised to your unique undertones. Our approach is inclusive, serving people of all ages, races, ethnicities, and genders, ensuring that your season remains a timeless guide throughout your life.
Experience the three essential components of our colour sessions:
First is our world-class, scientific draping process that we have refined for excellence and accuracy over the past four decades. Next, I will provide advice on jewellery, watches, glasses, and, when applicable, hair and makeup based on your season. Our makeup eliminates the guesswork, enhancing your natural beauty with colours perfectly suited to you. Finally, we’ll dive further into your season as we identify the best colours for both your casual and professional life, uncovering your collection of WOW colours.
You will leave your appointment equipped with a fan of your seasonal swatches and a tailored brochure filled with personalised tips and reminders specific to you, empowering you to confidently shop for and wear your new colours!
For optimal accuracy, arrive at your analysis without spray tans or makeup. Your privacy is paramount, so no photos will be taken or shared on social media without your consent.
Style Analysis
-
Discover the science and psychology behind personal style by unlocking the power of you. During a style analysis, I'll empower you to seamlessly combine your inner self with your outward appearance, so you can step out into the world radiating confidence as your authentic self.
We consider your proportions, personality, and preferences to give you a style framework - we call this a “Clothing Personality."
You will confidently know which fabrics, prints, patterns, accessories, necklines, details, and silhouettes flatter your unique body architecture best. By integrating your personality into this framework, our style analysis transcends mere fashion guidance, going a step further to help you identify how you feel in different styles and pieces, ensuring that your wardrobe not only reflects your style but also represents your individuality.
For this appointment, you’ll bring 5–10 items from your closet that you LOVE and 5–10 that make you wonder why you don’t feel good when putting them on. Together, we’ll use this information to help you discover why you gravitated toward and loved certain pieces and what it is about the others that weren’t working for you, saving you time and money in the future! At House of Colour, we believe clothing needs to be adjusted to you, not the other way around. It is our goal to make sure you feel your most confident as who you are and how you look right now.
You’ll leave with a book with detailed information specific to you that we’ll fill out during the appointment and a Clothing Personality card with keywords that will help guide you when shopping. If you’ve already had a colour analysis, this card can be inserted into your fan which will make shopping easy and efficient!
Wardrobe Edit
-
This appointment is designed to apply all the knowledge you gained in your colour and/or style analysis and appointment and apply it to your own wardrobe. Together, we'll filter through the pieces you don’t wear so you can donate or resell them, keeping your closet free from clutter so you can better mix and match pieces in your wardrobe to create more looks with fewer items.
This process liberates your closet from clutter, empowering you to effortlessly mix and match pieces to unlock endless styling possibilities with fewer items.
Personal Shopping

My House of Colour personal shopping service will make finding new clothing, shoes, jewellery and accessories hassle-free. As your personal stylist, I will be offering you my time, via this service, as your very own personal shopper.

Hi, I'm Shirley Phillips and I'd love to help positively change how you look and feel, for life. Whatever your age or gender, it's never too early - or too late, to discover colours and styles to help you look like the best verison of YOU!
"Inspirational, Life-changing, Magical"
Your transformation can take as little as a few hours, with results that last a lifetime.
I feel very privileged to be a catalyst for positive change for my clients. The classes I host give you the tools that enable you to be the best version of you - any time, anywhere!
How would you like to look and feel great, all of the time? A first impression, generally only takes 15 seconds to form and you only get one chance at it, so it's vital you get the right message across from the start, whether in a social or business context. Wearing the right colours and style for you can instantly make you look and feel your best, giving a confidence from within, which others can't help but notice!
On the other hand, wearing colours and styles that are out of sync with your skin tone and clothing personality can make you look washed-out, tired or even worse, sinister or untrustworthy.
What impression would you prefer to give?
Be the best version of YOU!
The House of Colour journey teaches you how to select colours and styles that complement what nature has given you, enabling you to choose clothes with confidence and clarity.
It's about stepping into your own superpower and being authentically and unapologetically you!
From corporate to casual, formal to freestyle and school run to celebrations, it's all about optimising your internal and external qualities.
When you feel comfortable and truly yourself in an outfit, your confidence shines and I believe that's why my clients tell me that their House of Colour experience is life-changing.
Make choices that are better for your wardrobe, peace of mind, budget and the planet
If you've ever felt you have a wardrobe full of clothes yet nothing to wear, these classes are for you!
Many people wear 15% of their clothes 85% of the time - what a waste of wardrobe space - and money! Once you know what suits the inner and outer 'you', you'll feel fabulous wearing everything in your wardrobe. The colours and styles in your wardrobe will all complement each other, but most importantly, will all complement you. Sustainable shopping habits will develop, helping the planet in the process.
The knowledge you gain will enable you to shop with certainty and ease; recognising which clothes harmonise with your skin tone, body shape and personality meaning that you avoid expensive shopping "mistakes" that can needlessly cost you a fortune and which also take up valuable wardrobe space.
Experience and Expertise
With over 14 years experience as a consultant, I am trained in all aspects of House of Colour work, including the wedding service, the corporate House of Colour in business and as an eyewear stylist.
Colour and Style sessions are the basic essentials of the House of Colour journey. Once you have these under your belt, you can build on that knowledge with (for those who wear make-up) a Skin care and make up session, or a personal shop or wardrobe review, followed by the accessorising class or scarf styling class. Colour and style masterclasses take your colour and style knowledge to another level!
The glasses styling appointments can be for prescription glasses or sunglasses.
Kids’ classes are great for instilling confidence at an early age.
I can also host personal branding workshops, corporate events, business network presentations and local community group talks.
Don't just take my word for it...

More client feedback
I would love to welcome you to my studio and discover the perfect colours and styles for you
Ensuring a warm welcome for all clients to the studio is really important to me. Specifically designed and built for colour analysis, the studio was an addition to our home over 10 years ago for my clients to enjoy their House of Colour experience to the fullest.
Being blessed with our location, we're far enough out of town to feel like we're in the countryside, surrounded on all 4 sides by fields with beautiful views over the Tay and out to sea. We're also only 15 minutes away from the Dundee City Centre so not miles away from civilisation either!
Natural daylight is essential for accurate Colour Analysis so the studio was designed with large North and East facing windows to optimise the amount of daylight in the room.
I want you to enjoy every aspect of your experience with me - and that includes coffee break! Refreshments usually include home baking and all dietary requirements are catered for. It's just another way of me as a Romantic Classic, looking after my clients!
Even after your session, I'll follow up with you, with tools such as HoCLookbook to make sure you're making the most of your newfound knowledge and I'm always at the end of the phone or an e-mail if you need any further assistance with your colour and style journey.
A warm welcome awaits you...

Colour Analysis
-
Transform getting dressed everyday into an effortless and joyful experience with our life-changing colour analysis.
Through precision-dyed drapes and my expert training, I provide you with invaluable insights of knowing your season; a palette of colours customised to your unique undertones. Our approach is inclusive, serving people of all ages, races, ethnicities, and genders, ensuring that your season remains a timeless guide throughout your life.
Experience the three essential components of our colour sessions:
First is our world-class, scientific draping process that we have refined for excellence and accuracy over the past four decades. Next, I will provide advice on jewellery, watches, glasses, and, when applicable, hair and makeup based on your season. Our makeup eliminates the guesswork, enhancing your natural beauty with colours perfectly suited to you. Finally, we’ll dive further into your season as we identify the best colours for both your casual and professional life, uncovering your collection of WOW colours.
You will leave your appointment equipped with a fan of your seasonal swatches and a tailored brochure filled with personalised tips and reminders specific to you, empowering you to confidently shop for and wear your new colours!
For optimal accuracy, arrive at your analysis without spray tans or makeup. Your privacy is paramount, so no photos will be taken or shared on social media without your consent.
The Colour class opens up the world of colour confidence and guarantees a far wider choice of colours than you ever thought possible. With all your clothes complementing you, and each other, everything in your wardrobe will work together, meaning you ultimately have more options, with less stuff in your wardrobe. Better for your purse, your peace of mind and for the planet!
You’ll leave my studio with a real confidence in how to wear colours that make you look and feel your best, every day - for the rest of your life.
COLOUR RERATE
Can my colours change? This re-rate session is great for people who have already been analysed through House of Colour but who feel that their WOW colours aren't doing what they originally did. Updates your previous colour analysis session to ensure that you are evolving your look as your skin tone changes. This session is really good for those who have undergone a hair colour change or a major life event which means they need to a refresh and a boost. We go through all the colours in your palette and check in whether your ratings have changed and give you guidance about which are your “wow” colours and which ones might be better used is a lower concentration or even as an accessorising colour. For those who wear make up, we can look at some exciting new make up recommendations for you from the House of Colour range.
You leave with a new colour book with all your new colour ratings included.
CHILDRENS COLOUR ANALYSIS
Colour confidence can start from any age and works for all genders.
Children really benefit from knowing their best colours at an early age – and children’s colour analysis great for important party outfits, choosing prom dress colours or the best colour for that first interview.
The Kids Colour Analysis class cost is kept low on the basis that we work out which season’s colours are best for them. It doesn’t include the ratings section or a fan of swatches so we don’t go through any detailed personalisation of the palette which we do in an adult’s class. We normally suggest that once children are in their teens, that they benefit from full colour analysis but if you want to discuss the options, please get in touch

Style Analysis
-
Discover the science and psychology behind personal style by unlocking the power of you. During a style analysis, I'll empower you to seamlessly combine your inner self with your outward appearance, so you can step out into the world radiating confidence as your authentic self.
We consider your proportions, personality, and preferences to give you a style framework - we call this a “Clothing Personality."
You will confidently know which fabrics, prints, patterns, accessories, necklines, details, and silhouettes flatter your unique body architecture best. By integrating your personality into this framework, our style analysis transcends mere fashion guidance, going a step further to help you identify how you feel in different styles and pieces, ensuring that your wardrobe not only reflects your style but also represents your individuality.
For this appointment, you’ll bring 5–10 items from your closet that you LOVE and 5–10 that make you wonder why you don’t feel good when putting them on. Together, we’ll use this information to help you discover why you gravitated toward and loved certain pieces and what it is about the others that weren’t working for you, saving you time and money in the future! At House of Colour, we believe clothing needs to be adjusted to you, not the other way around. It is our goal to make sure you feel your most confident as who you are and how you look right now.
You’ll leave with a book with detailed information specific to you that we’ll fill out during the appointment and a Clothing Personality card with keywords that will help guide you when shopping. If you’ve already had a colour analysis, this card can be inserted into your fan which will make shopping easy and efficient!

AND MUCH MORE: EYEWEAR STYLING
Glasses say so much about you and can either enhance your eyes or detract from them. They are slap bang in the middle of your communication zone so have high visual impact. It is vital, therefore, to get glasses that suit your face shape and individual colouring!
Often people have difficulty choosing glasses, as opticians don’t have the colour and style knowledge that we have as stylists. With over 14 years of experience as a colour and style consultant, I also trained as an Eyewear Stylist in 2018 and have been sharing the benefit of that knowledge with clients ever since. Working with VIP Eyewear as dispensing opticians, I work with a huge selection of styles and colours that are fully customisable to ensure you have the perfect pair of glasses for your skin tone, face shape and clothing personality.
SCARF STYLING SESSION
Learn how to get knotted! A lovely group session where you learn how to tie scarves to suit you, your face shape and your personality
Two hour class in which you discover how to wear scarves effectively to suit your personal style and enjoy the hands-on experience of learning how to tie knots that make you look effortlessly stylish.

View TestimonialHad to pop on and tell you about my fantastic shopping experience yesterday (my first time near clothes since our colour and style class on Friday!). Took myself to TK Maxx - my most dreaded shop as it always feels so overwhelming, Thanks to my colour book I was able to focus very quickly on what would suit, and then determine if it was my style or not! I left with 4 classic items for my wardrobe (all well made) one of which is a stunning Brick red dress that I wouldn't have dreamed of even looking at previously and its breath taking on! All done in less than an hour ... that is unheard of. Plus I left feeling excited about my purchases, instead of the usual unsure and stressed from the experience.
Heading out on my lunch again today - can't wait!
Thank you!

View TestimonialSo I was asked to introduce myself yesterday in my new job to the company on the main stage at our internal sales conference - executives, marketing, sales and of course the technical sales team that I will be leading - I must admit I was just a tad nervous - but I strutted my stuff, spoke confidently about community building, valuing people and personal space, and the need to strengthen the weak and to look out for one another in business.
I just wanted to say, a heartfelt thank you to Shirley from House of Colour (Tayside & Fife) for all the advice on appropriate and tasteful style and colour combination that really suit my colouring, shape, posture and pose. My 1-2-1 session, followed by an exclusive personal shopping trip, really made a huge difference to how I felt about such an important moment in my career, I have received nothing but compliments about how ‘smart’ I dress from numerous new colleagues.
Honestly, my time with Shirley has been one of the best investments I’ve made - so thank you

View TestimonialI have recently had both my colour and style analysis done with Shirley. I found Shirley to be warm, welcoming, friendly, and professional. She brings an understanding from her many years of experience to guide the process and relay the information/results in an understandable way. Shirley took the time to ensure the colour assessment was correct (I was a wee bit tricky), to answer all my questions and to ensure in both sessions that I was fully across all the points. She carries a large range of clothing and accessories but there was never any pressure to purchase any additional items (although I did make a few wee purchases). Her baking, which she generously shared, is also divine. In addition, the post session communications were very helpful and the offer of reaching out to Shirley with any questions was appreciated. I had a great experience – interesting, informative, and overall fun and enjoyable. I’m looking forward to embracing my new colours (that are not currently in my wardrobe) and selecting clothing and accessory styles more in tune with my personal style.
I would highly recommend Shirley for colour and style analysis using the House of Colour approach.

View TestimonialI had a lovely experience at Shirley's House of Colour. It was much more than I expected and the session was not just about what colours suited me but also made me realise the impact colours can have on the way I look and feel. I now understand what season I am, and even within that, what specific colours suit me best. I have with me a booklet of my colours, small enough to fit in my bag and take shopping with me. I will certainly be using it in the future to prevent me from buying any more clothes that don't suit me. Session also includes some lovely home baking which is always a win! Would highly recommend Shirley! Will put you at ease and help you make better choices in the future!

View TestimonialI really enjoyed my session with Shirley and got so much out of it. As well as being extremely knowledgeable, she is incredibly personable and makes you feel completely at ease.
The session covers a lot in a few hours and I particularly liked that it included guidance on make-up (which I'm completely useless at!) and a practice shopping session so you get a chance to put your new colour knowledge to the test.
I've recently got back into sewing so being armed with the knowledge and confidence of the colours that will work best on me has made this experience worthwhile. It will absolutely challenge your prejudices about certain colours and surprise you. If you are undecided about whether to do it, then don't be - you will come out of the session with a bounce in your step and feeling more confident about future clothing choices.

A friend and I had a fabulous Advanced Style session with her. We have pretty much opposite Clothing Personalities, and yet Shirley made it not only work but easy, seamlessly working well for both if us.
We looked at shapes, patterns, necklines and so much more. We each took a number of items we weren't sure about to analyse, it was very enlightening. I would highly recommend this session but also Shirley generally, I would love to visit her again.
Despite being involved with this work for 20 years it was still so informative, personal to each of us, and enjoyable! We also came away with some wonderful goodies. Thank you so much Shirley for a wonderful day. 💗

View TestimonialMy partner and I did the colour class yesterday. I cannot recommend it enough! Shirley is so sweet - it was a pleasure spending our whole afternoon with her. I loved how passionate she was about colour and style, and her enthusiasm was transferred over to us. She's very professional and knowledgeable, and her attention to detail is striking.
Before we saw Shirley, I was convinced I was an Autumn from the research I had done online, and I thought I would get that confirmed. However, to my shock and surprise, I turned out to be a Summer. Now it makes so much sense why I didn't look my best in pictures or why I had to compensate my outfits with makeup to feel more confident.
Generally, my partner and I were both afraid of incorporating colour into our outfits, and because we did not want to get it wrong, we always went with the 'safe' options. Hence, our wardrobes primarily consist of black, navy, and other dark-coloured garments. But, to our surprise, those colours made us look paler and more tired, and did not serve us any justice - there are no blacks in the Spring (my partner's season) and Summer palettes. It's crazy to think about how deprived we were of our true colours - we only have about three pieces that lay in our seasons.
I'm saying all this to highlight how much of a transformative experience this was and how important it is to get your colours done instead of relying on assumptions and online research. Now my partner and I have the confidence to explore different outfits and combinations. I finally know which makeup colours look good on me (again! colours that I would never even think of putting on my face before).
Also, doing this with your partner or someone you love is fantastic, and I can't recommend it enough! Seeing their confidence grow throughout the process is priceless. We've been together for a few years, but we still learned so much about each other.
I think everyone should try this, and Shirley is the person to go to!

View TestimonialTotally recommend. It is amazing how truly transformational it can be to “know your colours” and understand your clothing personality.
I’ve watched people “lose 10 years” before my eyes by just swapping the colour of the top they are wearing to one from the correct seasonal palette. Simply wow!
(Personally, I’m a Spring - bright clear colours. You won’t find me in black or white; I look like death.)
And as for understanding your style - it can be life-changing. Sounds slightly dramatic but actually there’s a lot of natural confidence in being yourself. Now that I embrace the true me, instead of wearing outfits I feel I “ought” to wear and feeling “wrong” and uncomfortable, I instead have the confidence to simply wear the clothes that are “me” and know that, for my body shape and personality, I’m naturally expressing my true self. There’s a sincerity and freedom in it.
(I’m a dramatic natural by the way. The drama is very helpful when you’re wearing bright colours in a room of black, grey and white!)
And if all of that wasn’t a good enough reason to do it, Shirley Phillips is an amazing consultant who just makes the whole experience a joy from start to finish with her sparkling personality!

View TestimonialWhen Shirley said she hoped she would 'change my life' with the colour analysis, I must confess, I was a little sceptical. However, I can honestly say, hand on heart, that she has! As an eczema/rosacea sufferer all my life (50 years), my face has always looked red and blotchy....but not any more! I was amazed at just how many different colours suit me, and most importantly, how these colours actually make me look healthy/glowing rather than red and blotchy. It really has made all the difference! Thank you, Shirley, from the bottom of my heart

View TestimonialI would like to write and say a huge THANKYOU to Shirley at the House of Colour. This was the first time I have had my colours done, so to say I was a little nervous is an understatement! The fantastic setup Shirley has to provide a very professional, but at the same time, extremely relaxed atmosphere, made the day fly past. Shirley was incredibly supportive and made me feel like I could hold my head up high with the colours that suited my skin tone..This turned out to be a Spring which completely surprised me! Shirley used photos and patience of a saint to go through with me and work out my colour ratings and make-up routine. As a busy mum of 3 that was nonexistent until now! Shirley explained how to apply the make-up and introduced the perfect palette that matched my Spring colours. I have since come home and sorted my clothes into two areas of Spring colours and 'non' Spring colours, and worn just my Spring colours since that day. I still can't believe the comments people are saying about how nice things look on me and how well I look. I wish I had done this years ago! Thank you Shirley, you are truly an amazing person! x

View TestimonialI recently had a re-rate of my colours and it was very illuminating and lots of fun. I thought I was pretty good at picking out the colours in my palate and was surprised to discover that there are some colours I haven't got in my wardrobe that I could have.
I love the make that was recommended to me. It is very natural and I'm adjusting to wearing the brighter lipsticks!
It was great to do the class with other people and see how their double star colours really light up their faces and make their eyes sparkle.
I can highly recommend the whole colour experience with Shirley. She came and reviewed my wardrobe and helped me to clear out lots of clothes that I hardly ever wear. I love having less to choose from and knowing that everything thats left works much better together.

View TestimonialI originally enjoyed a Colour Analysis session nine years ago with my best friend and from that day onwards I felt pretty comfortable with my "Bright Spring" colour choices.
I had been tempted for some time to do a Colour Rerate session and having attended last Friday morning, I am so glad that I did.
It appears that I have been studiously avoiding the "Sorbet" shades that work equally well for me, but no more! A blush pink item of clothing purchased yesterday, with a fabulous scarf to highlight the peach tones. Thank you so much Shirley, I had a wonderful day and I will now shop with a different mindset.

View TestimonialWhat a fabulous morning spent with the lovely Shirley having my colours analysed and rated alongside my daughters who were just having their colours done. Shirley made us feel welcome and comfortable from the moment we arrived until the moment we left. Nothing was too much trouble and Shirley took her time to ensure we had the best experience possible. My girls can be very shy but Shirley put them at ease and involved them every step of the way. We had gone in to the experience trying to work out our own and each other’s colours but we were completely wrong. Seeing the change in my daughters’ when they were draped in their colours was magical, my eldest daughter seemed to glow in her moss green and rust autumn colours and my youngest shone in her apple green and bright blue of spring. Having our colours analysed together was a brilliant bonding experience and we are now enjoying exploring our new colours together and helping each other to understand the colours that harmonise with our seasonal palettes.
Thank you, Shirley, for a thoroughly enjoyable morning and for the delicious home baking. I am sure we will return soon to complete the girls rating process.

View TestimonialI recently embarked on a truly transformative journey with Shirley at House of Colour, and I can honestly say it was an investment that has already and will continue to pay dividends in more ways than one. I've always struggled with finding clothes which truly flattered me. However, the expert colour and style analysis provided by Shirley has completely changed my perspective on personal style, colour and how I view myself.
The colour analysis was an eye-opening experience. I was amazed at how certain colours could instantly brighten my complexion, make my eyes shine and make me feel more confident.
The style analysis was equally insightful. Shirley helped me identify my body shape and recommended ways to accentuate my best features. I learned how to dress in a way that reflects my personality and makes me feel both confident and comfortable.
Beyond the practical benefits, the emotional impact of this experience was profound. I felt empowered and confident, knowing that I now have the tools to present my best self to the world. The transformation is not just physical, but also psychological.
I wholeheartedly recommend Shirley to anyone who wants to elevate their personal style and feel their best. It's an investment in yourself that will undoubtedly pay off in countless ways.

From Colour Analysis to Personal Shopping, let’s build a wardrobe that reflects your uniqueness.
Take Your Space with Confidence and Impact
Your Style is Your Silent Language
Throughout the ages, clothes have done more than keep us warm. They are a silent language used to express, lead, and signify status. Your image tells the world who you are, what you’re doing, and what will be expected from you. We are all different and unique. It's best when you speak your own language, have your own authentic image. This means filling your wardrobe with clothes that reflect you, rather than buying and wearing 'other peoples' clothes. You don't need more clothes. You need more of YOU in your clothes.
Based in Ireland, I give you the resources and expertise to Take Your Space.
Ireland’s Premier Personal Style Consultancy
I lead the largest full-service Personal Style Consultancy in Ireland, having empowered over 500 clients to date. More than just an Image Consultant, I offer a transformative experience through:

When you visually align with your most authentic self, you will feel comfortable in your own skin in every situation—liberated from the pressure to conform and empowered to be whatever resonates most strongly with you.
The Transformation: What to Expect
When you work with me, you will:
- Value How You Feel: Experience a profound shift in self-perception and self-worth
- Command Any Room: Feel entirely at home in your skin, regardless of the environment
- Simplify Your Mornings: Use your signature style blueprint to get ready quickly and easily

Colour Analysis
-
Transform getting dressed everyday into an effortless and joyful experience with our life-changing colour analysis.
Through precision-dyed drapes and my expert training, I provide you with invaluable insights of knowing your season; a palette of colours customised to your unique undertones. Our approach is inclusive, serving people of all ages, races, ethnicities, and genders, ensuring that your season remains a timeless guide throughout your life.
Experience the three essential components of our colour sessions:
First is our world-class, scientific draping process that we have refined for excellence and accuracy over the past four decades. Next, I will provide advice on jewellery, watches, glasses, and, when applicable, hair and makeup based on your season. Our makeup eliminates the guesswork, enhancing your natural beauty with colours perfectly suited to you. Finally, we’ll dive further into your season as we identify the best colours for both your casual and professional life, uncovering your collection of WOW colours.
You will leave your appointment equipped with a fan of your seasonal swatches and a tailored brochure filled with personalised tips and reminders specific to you, empowering you to confidently shop for and wear your new colours!
For optimal accuracy, arrive at your analysis without spray tans or makeup. Your privacy is paramount, so no photos will be taken or shared on social media without your consent.
Style Analysis
-
Discover the science and psychology behind personal style by unlocking the power of you. During a style analysis, I'll empower you to seamlessly combine your inner self with your outward appearance, so you can step out into the world radiating confidence as your authentic self.
We consider your proportions, personality, and preferences to give you a style framework - we call this a “Clothing Personality."
You will confidently know which fabrics, prints, patterns, accessories, necklines, details, and silhouettes flatter your unique body architecture best. By integrating your personality into this framework, our style analysis transcends mere fashion guidance, going a step further to help you identify how you feel in different styles and pieces, ensuring that your wardrobe not only reflects your style but also represents your individuality.
For this appointment, you’ll bring 5–10 items from your closet that you LOVE and 5–10 that make you wonder why you don’t feel good when putting them on. Together, we’ll use this information to help you discover why you gravitated toward and loved certain pieces and what it is about the others that weren’t working for you, saving you time and money in the future! At House of Colour, we believe clothing needs to be adjusted to you, not the other way around. It is our goal to make sure you feel your most confident as who you are and how you look right now.
You’ll leave with a book with detailed information specific to you that we’ll fill out during the appointment and a Clothing Personality card with keywords that will help guide you when shopping. If you’ve already had a colour analysis, this card can be inserted into your fan which will make shopping easy and efficient!
Wardrobe Edit
-
This appointment is designed to apply all the knowledge you gained in your colour and/or style analysis and appointment and apply it to your own wardrobe. Together, we'll filter through the pieces you don’t wear so you can donate or resell them, keeping your closet free from clutter so you can better mix and match pieces in your wardrobe to create more looks with fewer items.
This process liberates your closet from clutter, empowering you to effortlessly mix and match pieces to unlock endless styling possibilities with fewer items.
Advanced Colour Analysis
-
This appointment is ideal for those seeking to refresh or delve deeper into their seasonal palette. Together, we’ll discover your best neutrals and explore an array of colour combinations, empowering you to curate a capsule wardrobe that brings joy with every wear.
Experience tailored makeup recommendations, including your perfect lip colours, and receive expert advice on hair shades that perfectly harmonise with your palette.
You’ll also unlock the full potential of MyHOCLookBook as we guide you through organizing your wardrobe, identifying styling gaps, and igniting inspiration to experiment with new pieces.
Personal Shopping
-
My House of Colour personal shopping service will make finding new clothing, shoes, jewellery and accessories hassle-free. As your personal stylist, I will be offering you my time, via this service, as your very own personal shopper. You can personalise how I use this time so that it is completely tailored to your objectives and desires.
Whether you are looking for the perfect outfit for a special event, refreshing your wardrobe for the latest season, or just want expert guidance on how to continue looking your best, my personal shopping services are shaped around you and your goals.
There are a number of ways for you to personalise our House of Colour personal shopping service, for example:
- We can shop together in person
- I can conduct online personal shopping for you, buying items that I know work with your unique features, characteristics and personality
- I can undertake online personal shopping for you, saving items I believe would illuminate you and you can browse and buy at your own pace later.
Let me help you get to clothes you love faster, easier and with my expert guidance, so you can wear what fits, what flatters, and what feels like you with ease.
My Shopping Clinics are a favourite among my clients. I work with four clients at a time - putting the theory into practice on the shop floor.
I have developed a second-hand shopping experience in and around Dublin. We visit a range of shops from nearly new designer shops to charity shops learning how to find the right clothes in a very sustainable way.

View TestimonialJust to say a big thank you for yesterday, for collecting me from the airport and for a fun and inspiring day! I really enjoyed the whole experience of the second hand shopping! And it was lovely to do it with such like-minded and friendly women. But having you there absolutely made the day!
I do go into charity shops and pre-loved clothes shops at home, but I have a tendency to just look at rails without actually lifting or touching anything. Then walking out and telling myself there is nothing there. I know I did a little of that yesterday at first. But seeing you pulling possibilities out of nowhere and seeing the others find some amazing bits of clothing has made me think twice! I love my Zara coat and there is no way I would have even thought about wearing that before you produced it!

Margaret Harris, Colour Analyst and Personal Stylist for Berkhamsted, Hemel Hempstead, Kings Langley and surrounding villages.
Would you love to feel more confident when you’re choosing colours and clothing styles?
I want to help you to achieve just that!
I work with a broad variety of men, women and trans/non binary clients who wish to discover how to dress and learn their own unique looks with confidence, and to love what’s in the wardrobe!
House of Colour is a world leader in helping people to achieve just this. We are well known for our ability to help clients find a level of confidence, which is based on understanding what works for each individual. Age, race, gender, body shape or size should never be an obstacle to learning to love your look! Our colour and style analysis system is practical, logical (also fun!) and you can get going so quickly. Read the testimonials if you have any doubts.
You can choose to start with Colour Analysis or Style Analysis (most people prefer to begin with Colour Analysis) and then we can continue to work together by arranging whatever you feel is needed next. Shopping trips (in person or online), wardrobe edits, or further sessions such as advanced colour or styling sessions. Is your wardrobe uninspiring? I can help you! Many people dislike shopping but this is often because it can be overwhelming when you don’t know what you’re looking for. We look at how to make the most of what you already have which means that everything in your wardrobe is ‘paying the rent’.
Sessions are held in my colour studio in Berkhamsted (just off the main road). I usually work on a 1-2-1 basis with clients or in small groups of 2-3.
Get in touch – it’s time for a confident you!
See below for more information on each session.
Discover your best colours
Our colour analysis session is based on a logical and scientific process to determine your perfect colours. All sessions are run in a friendly, relaxed manner and are conducted in natural daylight. You will leave with an understanding on how to use your colours and with a colour swatch fan and information book. With these tools you can begin to shop with confidence. You will also sample our straightforward '90-second' make up and can purchase a kit to get you started straightaway.
What happens in a Style Session?
A style analysis session is an exciting experience for groups or individuals to discover your unique styles and get to grips with why some outfits feel just right, and why others simply don’t! You will learn about which patterns, textures and shapes suit you best and learn how to get the best possible value from your clothes and love everything you buy. This is highly informative and life changing!
Make-up Refresh
It is good practice to review your make up routine regularly to make sure that you are keeping up to date with what works best for you. Daytime and evening looks are usually tried (but it’s up to you). This is for anyone who is confident or not (!) and would like the chance to trial different looks in a calm environment. It is a fun pamper session and a great refresher for anyone who would like to try some new products.
Personal Shopping
If you have an important event coming up, or you simply want an unbiased expert on hand, I can arrange a personal shopping trip for you. Whether you’re new or an existing client, this can be a great use of time and your resources.
Small group shopping trips with existing clients are also available.
Wardrobe Review
Often booked alongside or after a style session, we meet to review your current wardrobe(s), discuss organisation, and improve how you can put your different looks together. You can also bring your clothes to me at the colour studio – your choice.
How to book
Email Margaret.harris@houseofcolour.co.uk or call/WhatsApp/text 07970 262 943. You can also choose a session from the available slots on the classes page, and it is often possible that I may have availability that is not listed. (Sometimes, life happens, and last minute changes occur)

Colour Analysis
-
Transform getting dressed everyday into an effortless and joyful experience with our life-changing colour analysis.
Through precision-dyed drapes and my expert training, I provide you with invaluable insights of knowing your season; a palette of colours customised to your unique undertones. Our approach is inclusive, serving people of all ages, races, ethnicities, and genders, ensuring that your season remains a timeless guide throughout your life.
Experience the three essential components of our colour sessions:
First is our world-class, scientific draping process that we have refined for excellence and accuracy over the past four decades. Next, I will provide advice on jewellery, watches, glasses, and, when applicable, hair and makeup based on your season. Our makeup eliminates the guesswork, enhancing your natural beauty with colours perfectly suited to you. Finally, we’ll dive further into your season as we identify the best colours for both your casual and professional life, uncovering your collection of WOW colours.
You will leave your appointment equipped with a fan of your seasonal swatches and a tailored brochure filled with personalised tips and reminders specific to you, empowering you to confidently shop for and wear your new colours!
For optimal accuracy, arrive at your analysis without spray tans or makeup. Your privacy is paramount, so no photos will be taken or shared on social media without your consent.
Style Analysis
-
Discover the science and psychology behind personal style by unlocking the power of you. During a style analysis, I'll empower you to seamlessly combine your inner self with your outward appearance, so you can step out into the world radiating confidence as your authentic self.
We consider your proportions, personality, and preferences to give you a style framework - we call this a “Clothing Personality."
You will confidently know which fabrics, prints, patterns, accessories, necklines, details, and silhouettes flatter your unique body architecture best. By integrating your personality into this framework, our style analysis transcends mere fashion guidance, going a step further to help you identify how you feel in different styles and pieces, ensuring that your wardrobe not only reflects your style but also represents your individuality.
For this appointment, you’ll bring 5–10 items from your closet that you LOVE and 5–10 that make you wonder why you don’t feel good when putting them on. Together, we’ll use this information to help you discover why you gravitated toward and loved certain pieces and what it is about the others that weren’t working for you, saving you time and money in the future! At House of Colour, we believe clothing needs to be adjusted to you, not the other way around. It is our goal to make sure you feel your most confident as who you are and how you look right now.
You’ll leave with a book with detailed information specific to you that we’ll fill out during the appointment and a Clothing Personality card with keywords that will help guide you when shopping. If you’ve already had a colour analysis, this card can be inserted into your fan which will make shopping easy and efficient!
Personal Shopping
-
My House of Colour personal shopping service will make finding new clothing, shoes, jewellery and accessories hassle-free. As your personal stylist, I will be offering you my time, via this service, as your very own personal shopper. You can personalise how I use this time so that it is completely tailored to your objectives and desires.
Whether you are looking for the perfect outfit for a special event, refreshing your wardrobe for the latest season, or just want expert guidance on how to continue looking your best, my personal shopping services are shaped around you and your goals.
There are a number of ways for you to personalise our House of Colour personal shopping service, for example:
- We can shop together in person
- I can conduct online personal shopping for you, buying items that I know work with your unique features, characteristics and personality
- I can undertake online personal shopping for you, saving items I believe would illuminate you and you can browse and buy at your own pace later.
Let me help you get to clothes you love faster, easier and with my expert guidance, so you can wear what fits, what flatters, and what feels like you with ease.
Wardrobe Edit
-
This appointment is designed to apply all the knowledge you gained in your colour and/or style analysis and appointment and apply it to your own wardrobe. Together, we'll filter through the pieces you don’t wear so you can donate or resell them, keeping your closet free from clutter so you can better mix and match pieces in your wardrobe to create more looks with fewer items.
This process liberates your closet from clutter, empowering you to effortlessly mix and match pieces to unlock endless styling possibilities with fewer items.
Advanced Colour Analysis
-
This appointment is ideal for those seeking to refresh or delve deeper into their seasonal palette. Together, we’ll discover your best neutrals and explore an array of colour combinations, empowering you to curate a capsule wardrobe that brings joy with every wear.
Experience tailored makeup recommendations, including your perfect lip colours, and receive expert advice on hair shades that perfectly harmonise with your palette.
You’ll also unlock the full potential of MyHOCLookBook as we guide you through organizing your wardrobe, identifying styling gaps, and igniting inspiration to experiment with new pieces.

View TestimonialI attended Margaret's Colour Analysis workshop recently, as I have always been fascinated by fashion/make up and surprised myself that I had never done this before! Margaret is a consumate professional with an almost tangible passion for what she does! I felt completely at ease from the moment I walked into her Studio; even sitting in front of the mirror without make up wasn't an issue with Margaret's lovely, friendly approach.
Even if you think you've got a good idea as to which colours suit you, seeing SO clearly how one colour can have you looking at death's door, and another (seeminlgy similar) shade have you looking as if you've just returned from holiday is amazing, and truly an eye opener! It didn't stop there! We looked at some different make up ideas as well as clothes, accesories and scarves etc that adorn the Studio, which is heaven for any woman!
I wouldn't hesitate in recommending this workshop for any man or woman, and of any age - I can't wait for the next workshop.
Thank you!"

View TestimonialThe Colours Workshop took me by surprise - it far exceeded my expectations. I was a bit sceptical at first at how much colours could make a difference to your appearance but when you sit in front of the mirror and see so clearly how certain colours make you look healthier and more radiant - even define your jawline - it's remarkable. And not to mention fun!
Margaret is a great host and made me feel very welcome as soon as I arrived, and I definitely learned a few new things - not only about colours, but make up and accessorising too. She even got me wearing big bold lipsticks - and feeling great about it.
I'm now armed with my colour wallet and new lipsticks and hugely excited about future shopping trips. For anyone wondering whether to take the plunge, why wouldn't you? Now I've done it, it seems crazy that I've walked around all these years wearing clothes that make me look washed out! It's definitely worth it!
Thank you!

View TestimonialIt's amazing how much difference knowing your colours can make to your confidence and self esteem. I look so much more radiant and I have so many more compliments than I used to. It's made shopping so much easier, not to mention the cost saving as I am able to scan for my own colours, and ignore the rest. I've also had a Styling Session with Margaret. Apart from being a fun session, I learnt alot about myself and why certain styles do and don't feel right. The final step later on was to have Margaret spring clean my wardrobe. Apart from being incredibly "cleansing" (!) I was able to see where the gaps were and by investing in just a few items, my wardrobe is more streamlined, goes alot further, and I no longer seem to have those days of "not knowing what to wear"! These sessions have been a totally worthwhile investment. I recommend it for everyone, and I highly recommend Margaret who takes a fun, down to earth and very practical approach whilst being sensitive to one's wallet.

View TestimonialHaving been offered both Colour and Style sessions with Margaret as a present, I was a bit sceptical. I wasn’t sure I needed them, and I didn’t think I’d enjoy talking ‘colours’ and ‘styles’ for any more than 5 minutes. Clothing doesn’t really interest me that much, and my idea of hell is going clothes shopping.
I’m now really pleased that I went along, and can honestly say I thoroughly enjoyed the sessions. I learnt loads about what works for me, what doesn’t work - and why - and I was encouraged to broaden my quite limited view of clothing, styles and colours to include things I’d never normally have gone for.
Margaret is brilliant at putting you at ease, explaining in practical terms what the sessions are all about, and is really flexible about meeting your particular needs. She has a great sense of humour too, which really helps.
I’m sitting here in my newly dyed dark-green sweater - I’d never have dyed a sweater before, or gone for green. But it looks great, and I now know why. I’m still not a lover of shopping - but it’s less stressful now that I know what will probably work better for me, and I can do it in less time, and I’ll waste less money on clothes that don’t really suit me.
Now that’s a result!

My teenager had some real confidence issues, and the session that we did really gave her an additional massive boost. It makes such a difference when you know a colour looks great on you, and now she can't wait to go shopping. The make up session was also great, to show her that she doesn't need to 'pack it on'!
Every teenager should do this!

The workshop was fascinating and ended with me know my CP (clothing personality) plus my own shape and proportions so that I can adapt the styles that suit me to be tailored exactly. I can't recommend this workshop enough - Margaret is so passionate about what she does. Nothing is too much trouble for her to explain, she solves every problem, and gives so much advice and guidance. This workshop is guaranteed to save you wasting money by buying the wrong things!

View TestimonialHaving had my colours assessed when I was much younger, I was curious to see what best colours may have changed and I recently arranged to have a colour re-rate at Margaret's studio.
I couldn't have hoped for a more professional, knowledgeable consultant. Margaret equipped me with a comprehensive understanding of my colours.
I booked a home consultation with her to assess my wardrobe.
Margaret's imaginative and insightful approach helped us to spend an enjoyable time together while discovering limitless possibilites of dressing up and enjoying the beauty of colour.
Her down to earth manner and amenability meant that I could explore why certain clothes might or might not work on me and that was incredibly helpful.
I now feel equipped with the ability to wear clothes and colours that enhance my life on a daily basis.
Margaret has helped me to explore seasonal wardrobes and expand my enjoyment of dressing. She is more than I could have hoped, for a consultant.

Stylist Links
You deserve to feel amazing in everything you wear.
If your wardrobe isn’t doing you justice, I will help you uncover the colours and styles that truly reflect who you are, so getting dressed becomes something you look forward to every day
Meet Your Stylist.
With over 10 years’ experience and a background in interior design, I help clients understand how colour and style can quietly transform how they feel every day.
From my cottage studio in the village of Lyddington, I support clients across Stamford and Rutland to use colour and style with confidence, clarity and ease. Whether you’re navigating change, preparing for a new role or special occasion, or simply want getting dressed to feel easier again, each session is designed to bring ease, direction and a sense of quiet confidence.
My approach is thoughtful, relaxed and highly individual. I’ll help you reconnect with what truly suits you, your colouring, proportions and personal style, so your wardrobe feels aligned with who you are now, not who you think you should be.
Drawing on my experience in interior design, including work with leading creative agencies and industry recognition, I bring a trained eye for colour, proportion and detail to every session. The result is not just a more cohesive wardrobe, but greater confidence in how you show up, day to day.
If you’re ready to refresh your wardrobe or begin a new chapter, I’m here to guide you. You deserve to feel at ease and confident in what you wear, every day.
“Anna has such a calm and uplifting approach. She made me feel seen, heard and stylish again.”
— Laura, Stamford
Master Your Style
My sessions are relaxed and personalised, designed to give you the confidence and clarity to make effortless style choices that truly reflect who you are.
Each session is tailored to your individual needs, helping you discover your most flattering colours, refine your personal style, and build a wardrobe that genuinely supports your lifestyle. Whether you’re looking to simplify shopping, elevate your everyday look, or feel more at ease in your clothes, you’ll leave with clarity, direction and fresh confidence.
Clients often tell me they leave feeling uplifted and reassured, with a clearer sense of direction and a wardrobe that finally feels aligned with who they are.
“I left feeling so much more confident and with a fresh understanding of how to dress that actually suits me.”
— Claire, Uppingham
Unlock Your WOW
Every client I see is unique, with different colouring, lifestyles, preferences, and priorities. Whether you’re navigating change, seeking a refresh, or simply wanting to understand what truly suits you, this is a space to pause, explore, and gain clarity.
I’ll help you connect the dots between what works for you and how you want to show up, so your style feels intentional rather than uncertain.
You’ll leave with more than just insight. You’ll gain clarity on what suits you best, the confidence to make authentic choices, and the reassurance that what you wear feels considered, authentic, and true to who you are.
“I didn’t expect to feel such a shift. I now know what suits me and feel more like myself again.”
— Isobel, Uppingham
Own Your Style
Feeling unsure about what to wear can quietly drain confidence. Investing in colour and style does not just transform your wardrobe. It changes how you show up, every day.
A personalised Colour and Style session brings clarity, direction, and lasting confidence. You will shop with purpose, stop second-guessing what suits you, and build a wardrobe that genuinely supports your life.
This is an investment that pays off over time, saving you energy, stress, and unnecessary purchases. You will step forward feeling self-assured, grounded, and comfortable in a style that feels truly your own.
“Thanks to Anna, I’m now a confident shopper with a wardrobe I love and no more costly mistakes.”
— Matilda, Stamford
Start with Confidence
Whether you’re curious about discovering your seasonal colours, exploring your personal style, or considering both, there is a session that’s right for you.
You might choose to begin with a Colour Analysis to uncover your WOW colours and gain clarity on what truly suits you. Or you may prefer a Style consultation to explore your clothing personality, understand shape and fit, and simplify your wardrobe choices.
For many clients, the most powerful results come from a thoughtful combination of colour and style. Together, we’ll choose the session or sessions that best support your goals and help you feel confident in how you dress.
There is no perfect time, only the right time. If you’re ready to feel assured in what you wear and reconnect with your style, this is a calm and supportive place to begin.
“Anna made the whole process easy and inspiring. I only wish I had done it sooner.”
— Camilla, Oakham

Colour Analysis
-
Transform getting dressed everyday into an effortless and joyful experience with our life-changing colour analysis.
Through precision-dyed drapes and my expert training, I provide you with invaluable insights of knowing your season; a palette of colours customised to your unique undertones. Our approach is inclusive, serving people of all ages, races, ethnicities, and genders, ensuring that your season remains a timeless guide throughout your life.
Experience the three essential components of our colour sessions:
First is our world-class, scientific draping process that we have refined for excellence and accuracy over the past four decades. Next, I will provide advice on jewellery, watches, glasses, and, when applicable, hair and makeup based on your season. Our makeup eliminates the guesswork, enhancing your natural beauty with colours perfectly suited to you. Finally, we’ll dive further into your season as we identify the best colours for both your casual and professional life, uncovering your collection of WOW colours.
You will leave your appointment equipped with a fan of your seasonal swatches and a tailored brochure filled with personalised tips and reminders specific to you, empowering you to confidently shop for and wear your new colours!
For optimal accuracy, arrive at your analysis without spray tans or makeup. Your privacy is paramount, so no photos will be taken or shared on social media without your consent.
Style Analysis
-
Discover the science and psychology behind personal style by unlocking the power of you. During a style analysis, I'll empower you to seamlessly combine your inner self with your outward appearance, so you can step out into the world radiating confidence as your authentic self.
We consider your proportions, personality, and preferences to give you a style framework - we call this a “Clothing Personality."
You will confidently know which fabrics, prints, patterns, accessories, necklines, details, and silhouettes flatter your unique body architecture best. By integrating your personality into this framework, our style analysis transcends mere fashion guidance, going a step further to help you identify how you feel in different styles and pieces, ensuring that your wardrobe not only reflects your style but also represents your individuality.
For this appointment, you’ll bring 5–10 items from your closet that you LOVE and 5–10 that make you wonder why you don’t feel good when putting them on. Together, we’ll use this information to help you discover why you gravitated toward and loved certain pieces and what it is about the others that weren’t working for you, saving you time and money in the future! At House of Colour, we believe clothing needs to be adjusted to you, not the other way around. It is our goal to make sure you feel your most confident as who you are and how you look right now.
You’ll leave with a book with detailed information specific to you that we’ll fill out during the appointment and a Clothing Personality card with keywords that will help guide you when shopping. If you’ve already had a colour analysis, this card can be inserted into your fan which will make shopping easy and efficient!
Wardrobe Edit
-
This appointment is designed to apply all the knowledge you gained in your colour and/or style analysis and appointment and apply it to your own wardrobe. Together, we'll filter through the pieces you don’t wear so you can donate or resell them, keeping your closet free from clutter so you can better mix and match pieces in your wardrobe to create more looks with fewer items.
This process liberates your closet from clutter, empowering you to effortlessly mix and match pieces to unlock endless styling possibilities with fewer items.

View Testimonial'I had the pleasure of completing both a Colour Consultation and Style Day with Anna, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! Anna was incredibly helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable throughout, making it a fun and insightful journey to discover my colour season and style personality. Her thoroughness in assessing my body shape and explaining which styles would suit me was invaluable.
Even after the session, Anna was so supportive, answering my questions and helping me recall key style tips when I misplaced my workbook. I highly recommend Anna’s guidance in colours and styles—it has saved me so much time, helped me avoid costly mistakes, and given me the confidence to choose pieces that truly suit my body shape and personality.'

View TestimonialI had a really great experience finding my WOW colours with Anna. Her space was very professional and relaxing and she made me feel very comfortable and confident to also talk about colours and ask questions. I was nervous at first given my slightly darker complexion having a latin/caribbean background that she would find it more difficult but Anna was very knowledgeable and has had other people of color as clients as well so that made me feel really confident. Her enthusiasm was infectious and made me very excited about my colours and getting to know more about what makes me shine most!

I'm here to help you through life's changes using colour analysis and personal style to empower you to feel more confident and visible at any age. Award winning stylist based in Harrogate town centre with 24 years experience, so you're in safe hands.
Hi, I'm Elaine..
I started my House of Colour journey over 35 years ago; I'm not exaggerating when I say Colour Analysis changed my life! The transformation in my appearance, along with the understanding of what truly worked for me, gave me a huge confidence boost. After going through my house of colour journey I got every job that I interviewed for. I believe this was because I looked more put together wearing my wow colours and dressing as my authentic self. It inspired me to train as an image consultant in 2000 to help others experience that same amazing transformation!
Personal packaging is my passion. I believe the way we present ourselves makes a huge impact, expecially in today's world where first impressions are often based on appearance. I've had the pleasure of helping hundreds of clients make changes to their look, and it's been amazing to see them exceed their own expectations in all areas of life. I've worked with clients from all walks of life and even had the opportunity to travel internationally to work with clients. It's incredibly rewarding to be part of their transformational journey!
By showing you how to dress your AUTHENTIC self I can, put simply, help you to change your life! Clients tell me this all the time - male and female. You'll leave my studio feeling excited, energised, and inspired after learning which colours and styles make you look younger, more yourself, and more stylish. The biggest gift I can give you is the confidence to be your unique self. When you learn to put together outfits that truly suit WHO you ARE, you'll glow with the knowledge that you always look your best, whether it's for a date, party, business meeting, or job interview.
A wise purchase starts with knowing what works for you. The investment in your personal style can lead to significant returns in both your personal and professional life. Clients have seen promotions, salary increases, and a boost in self-confidence after completing the course.
Using House of Colour in a business setting can indeed provide valuable benefits. When employees feel confident about their appearance, it boosts not only their personal self-esteem but also their professional presence, helping to build credibility and trust. Offering personal development training that includes colour analysis and style guidance can empower staff to project a polished image that aligns with their company brand. This unique angle on employee training adds a modern touch to conventional business development and staff retention programs.

View TestimonialThanks for helping with my wardrobe I now know everything goes together. I'm confident in what I wear without getting stressed in a morning. My Make-up was also a revelation. I've shied away from wearing colour around my eyes in recent years, simply because I wasn't sure how to apply it. I didn't want to end up looking like some 80's reject. You showed me how to enhance my look using the right shades in the right places and to experiment with new colours - definately worth while sessions.

View TestimonialElaine is an expert, Having your colours done is the most amazing experience.
The best I can say is that the next day when I had got ready to go out and went to say goodbye to my husband, he said: I think this may be the first time in your life you have gone into a room and said "ta-da!"
Getting colours right is not only about the way you look, it is also very much about the way you feel about the way you look.
I can heartily recommend referring yourself and everyone you know to Elaine - just do it now!

View TestimonialElaine really made me think hard about who I was and how I needed to ensure the way I dressed would reflect it.
After completing the course Elaine I went on my first shopping trip. I hate shopping! but shopping with Elaine is a joy to behold. She saves me hours and I'm sure hundreds of pounds by making sure I only try and buy clothes the right shape and colour for me. I just open my wardrobe and I know whatever I choose will look and feel great!
I'm sure you've heard 'dress for the job you want', well Elaine certainly helped me to do this and my new wardrobe at work made clients, colleagues and managers alike notice me for all the right reasons. This teamed with my new found confidence (and a bit of hard work), has over the last 3 years helped my career to grow from strength to strength. I have recently landed a promotion giving me a 40% salary increase and putting me face to face with some of my companies' biggest clients.
I can't thank Elaine enough and will continue to use and recommend her services.

View TestimonialMy sister and I, as women of a certain age, were looking for guidance on style, colour and makeup and had booked Elaine with high expectations. We were not disappointed.
Our morning was spent looking at our own best colours and makeup styles - Elaine really knew her subject and helped us expertly on our style journey.
We were both really surprised at simple changes that were transformational. We then looked at our own wardrobes that we had brought along. Elaine again demonstrated her expert eye, gently pointing out where we could improve and change our styles - a truly eye opening experience.....
...the whole experience was worthwhile as I feel far more comfortable and confident in my new look. I can highly recommend spending the day with Elaine for a truly transformational result!

View TestimonialElaine is absolutely great and a master of her trade! I’d previously had my colours and a style analysis with Elaine but, having recently retired, I’d lost my way a bit in defining a new look. One afternoon’s shopping with Elaine was a revelation. She’s hugely experienced, great fun to be with and, in just two hours, she found me a lovely capsule wardrobe which covers almost every eventuality. She’s never pushy, but is gently encouraging (and honest!) as you try out new looks. Spending time with Elaine to get the right wardrobe is an investment - and I’d recommend her to anyone.’

Το House of Colour ιδρύθηκε στην Μεγ. Βρετανία το 1985 και πλέον μετράει περισσότερα από 30 χρόνια στην εφαρμογή της επιστήμης των χρωμάτων. Το χρώμα αποτελεί μια ζωτική δύναμη. Από πολύ νεαρή ηλικία, η εμφάνισή μας, η διάθεση αλλά και οι επιλογές μας, ανεξάρτητα από την προέλευση και την απασχόλησή μας, επηρεάζονται έντονα και αποφασιστικά από τη δύναμη του χρώματος.
Με την επίλεκτη, διεθνή ομάδα συμβούλων που διαθέτει σήμερα το House of Colour, παρέχει σύγχρονες και εξειδικευμένες υπηρεσίες τόσο σε προσωπικό όσο και σε εταιρικό επίπεδο.
Έφερα το House of Colour στην Ελλάδα το 1992 και μετρώ σημαντική πλέον εμπειρία ως προσωπική στυλίστρια και σύμβουλος μόδας στους ακόλουθους τομείς: την ανάλυση χρώματος, το προσωπικό στυλ, την παροχή συμβουλών μόδας, τη φροντίδα του δέρματος καθώς και την πρακτική οργάνωση γκαρνταρόμπας, την επίσκεψη μαζί σας στα μαγαζιά και την κατάλληλη προετοιμασία της βαλίτσας σας για διακοπές, επαγγελματικά ταξίδια και άλλα κοινωνικά γεγονότα.
Όταν νοιώθετε και φαίνεστε στα καλύτερά σας, κάνετε τη σωστή πρώτη εντύπωση, αισθάνεστε αυτοπεποίθηση και μπορείτε να σταθείτε σε κάθε περίσταση με δυναμισμό και αυθεντικότητα. Η εμφάνισή σας μπορεί να επηρεάσει θετικά όλες τις δραστηριότητές σας και τις αλληλεπιδράσεις με τον οικογενειακό, κοινωνικό και επαγγελματικό σας περίγυρο, ανεξάρτητα από το στάδιο της ζωής που βρίσκεστε. Είτε θέλετε να νοιώθετε πιο σίγουρη κοινωνικά, είτε πηγαίνετε στο Πανεπιστήμιο, είτε ξεκινάτε την πρώτη σας δουλειά, είτε αλλάζετε/προχωράτε στην καριέρα σας, είτε πρόκειται να παντρευτείτε, είτε να γίνετε μητέρα, είτε να επιστρέψετε στη δουλειά σας, είτε να συνταξιοδοτηθείτε, το να φαίνεστε όμορφη κάθε στιγμή, σας κάνει να νοιώθετε σίγουρη και πάνω απ’ όλα ότι μπορείτε να πετύχετε με τον καλύτερο δυνατό τρόπο σε κάθε ευκαιρία που η ζωή φέρνει.
Μέσα από τα σεμινάρια του House of Colour, μπορώ να σας δώσω τα εργαλεία και τη γνώση για να επιτύχετε αυτό το στόχο. Κινητήρια δύναμη στη δουλειά μου είναι να διαπιστώνω καθημερινά πόσο πραγματικά αγαπούν κι εμπιστεύονται οι πελάτισσές μου τις προσωπικές τους μεταμορφώσεις. Έχουν όλη την συμβουλευτική υποστήριξη για να δημιουργήσουν απίθανες, πολύχρωμες και ευπροσάρμοστες γκαρνταρόμπες, να φορέσουν τα σωστά αξεσουάρ τη σωστή στιγμή και να δημιουργήσουν εύκολα τα μακιγιάζ που τις κολακεύουν. Έτσι, το πρωϊνό ντύσιμο γίνεται διασκεδαστικό και συναρπαστικό και τις γεμίζει αυτοπεποίθηση ν’ αντιμετωπίσουν την ημέρα τους.
Το να τολμήσει κανείς την αλλαγή μερικές φορές μπορεί να φαντάζει τρομακτικό. Αλλά θα μείνετε κατάπληκτες από τη διαφορά που κάνουν τα σωστά χρώματα και το σωστό στυλ και κυρίως από τα βαθιά οφέλη που μπορούν να φέρουν αυτές οι μικρές αλλαγές! Θα έχετε πάντα κάτι υπέροχο να φορέσετε για κάθε περίσταση και κυρίως θα ξοδεύετε πολύ λιγότερα χρήματα για ρούχα.
Κάνοντας αυτή τη δουλειά με πάθος από το 1992, θα είναι τιμή μου να μου επιτρέψετε να σας βοηθήσω να τολμήσετε τις αλλαγές που μπορούν να σας μεταμορφώσουν.
Μπορείτε λοιπόν να καλέσετε στο +30 6944265195 ή στο +30 2106994542 και να κλείσετε το ραντεβού σας για ν' ανακαλύψετε τον καινούριο σας εαυτό!

View TestimonialΤην Ειρήνη την θυμόμουν από την Ελληνογαλλική Σχολή Ουρσουλινών, μεγαλύτερη εγώ, μικρότερη εκείνη, σαν ένα πολύ όμορφο κορίτσι, με κλασσική ελληνική ομορφιά.
Όπως συμβαίνει συνήθως, χαθήκαμε μέσα στα χρόνια. Κάποια στιγμή, σε μία καμπή της ζωής μου, αισθάνθηκα «παγιδευμένη» μέσα στο κλασσικό επαγγελματικό στυλ ντυσίματος, το οποίο λίγο πολύ είχα υιοθετήσει και στην προσωπική μου ζωή, με λάθος χρωματική απόχρωση στα μαλλιά μου. Έτσι αναζήτησα μέσω του Google, κάποια εταιρεία που να παρέχει ενημέρωση σε θέματα styling. Ήθελα σωστές συμβουλές και μία αλλαγή που να ταιριάζει στην προσωπικότητά μου, σε ύφος σύγχρονο, με οικονομία χρόνου και χωρίς σπατάλη.
Έτσι έφθασα στο House of Colour . Η Ειρήνη με προσκάλεσε σε ένα Open Day, μου άρεσε πολύ ο επαγγελματικός τρόπος παρουσίασης , το επίπεδο του ακροατηρίου καθώς και η άριστη εξυπηρέτηση από εκείνη και τις συνεργάτιδές της. Και η διαδικασία κέντρισε την περιέργειά μου να ανακαλύψω καλύτερα τον εαυτό μου και να βελτιώσω την εμφάνισή μου.
Παρακολούθησα τα Σεμινάρια Χρωματικής Ανάλυσης, Personal Style, Μακιγιάζ και Περιποίησης Προσώπου και τώρα θα προχωρήσω στο Σεμινάριο Style Development.
Κάθε saison πια, περιμένω με ανυπομονησία το νέο Open Day για να ενημερωθώ για τις τάσεις της μόδας που ταιριάζουν στην δική μου προσωπικότητα (Βαθύς χειμώνας, Classic Gamine) και να συμβουλευθώ την Ειρήνη και τις συνεργάτιδές της για καινούργια κομμάτια στην γκαρνταρόμπα μου, ώστε να είμαι πάντα in focus. Είναι πια μία συνήθεια που όπως λέμε στην Ελλάδα «έγινε λατρεία».
Μου ταιριάζει επίσης η προσωπικότητα της Ειρήνης και της ομάδας της που μπορούν να απευθυνθούν στις δυναμικές, με κλασσικές επιλογές αλλά και δημιουργικά σύγχρονες Ευρωπαίες γυναίκες. Είμαστε πλέον φίλες.

View TestimonialΓνώρισα το House of Colour από την Ειρήνη Φθενάκη στις αρχές του 1990 όταν το πρωτοεισήγαγε στην Ελλάδα. Εμπιστεύτηκα την εμπειρία της στο χώρο της ένδυσης και της μόδας αλλά και το ταλέντο της, το αλάνθαστο αισθητήριό της που την κάνει -κατά τη γνώμη μου- μοναδική σύμβουλο σε θέματα προσωπικού στυλ και εικόνας.
Δεν είναι υπερβολή να πω ότι τα σεμινάρια της House of Colour άλλαξαν ριζικά τον τρόπο που ντύνομαι και ψωνίζω. Καταρχάς χάρη στο σεμινάριο Colour Analysis, ανακάλυψα και χρησιμοποιώ χρώματα που δεν είχα ποτέ φορέσει. Χρώματα που με αναδεικνύουν καλύτερα αλλά και που συνδυάζονται τέλεια μεταξύ τους ώστε να μπορώ να χρησιμοποιώ όλα τα ρούχα στην γκαρνταρόμπα μου χωρίς να τα βαριέμαι ποτέ. Μετά έκανα το σεμινάριο του Style που με βοήθησε να εξελίξω το προσωπικό μου στυλ και να ανακαλύψω τις γραμμές που ταιριάζουν στο σώμα μου. Από τη στιγμή εκείνη δεν έκανα πια καμία αποτυχημένη αγορά. Εχω μια λειτουργική γκαρνταρόμπα με λογικό κόστος την οποία ανανεώνω κάθε σαιζόν προσθέτοντας νέα κομμάτια/πινελιές που ταιριάζουν και συνδυάζονται τέλεια με τα ήδη υπάρχοντα. Συνέχισα να παρακολουθώ τα σεμινάρια ΗοC και τα Fashion Updates κάθε νέα σαιζόν πρώτον γιατι είναι πάντα ευχάριστα και διασκεδαστικά και δεύτερον γιατι μαθαίνω κάτι καινούργιο που με βοηθάει να βελτιώνω και να εξελίσσω την εικόνα μου μέσα από τις αλλαγές του χρόνου.
Εμπιστεύομαι την Ειρήνη με κλειστά μάτια, τόσο ως σύμβουλο εικόνας όσο και ως σύμβουλο αγορών γιατί βλέπει το κάθε άτομο με γνώμονα το δικό του προσωπικό στυλ και του προτείνει αυτά που πραγματικά του ταιριάζουν. Εχω συστήσει τα σεμινάρια του HoC και την Ειρήνη σε πολλούς γνωστούς και φίλους που έμειναν ενθουσιασμένοι και έγιναν θερμοί fan! Την συνιστώ ανεπιφύλακτα και σε σας!

View TestimonialΠριν από 22 χρόνια, έκανα μία από τις σημαντικότερες επενδύσεις στην ζωή μου. Τα σεμινάρια χρωματικής ανάλυσης και ενδυματολογικής προσωπικότητας του House of Colour! Μία καταπληκτική ιδέα που υλοποιείται με επαγγελματισμό και συνέπεια, από τις Ειρήνη και Αυγουστίνα Φθενάκη.
Τα σεμινάρια μου έδωσαν χαρά, αυτοπεποίθηση και με έφεραν ακόμα πιο κοντά στον εαυτό μου και την προσωπικότητά μου. Σ' αυτό που είμαι εγώ, το οποίο αντανακλάται με θαυμάσιο τρόπο στην εμφάνισή μου, ώστε να υπάρχει Αρμονία και Ισορροπία!
Θεωρώ ότι τα σεμινάρια αυτά ήταν το ωραιότερο δώρο στον εαυτό μου και για τον λόγο αυτό, τα πρόσφερα ως δώρο και σε άλλους αγαπημένους μου ανθρώπους.

Let’s grow your confidence in colour and style to help you look and feel your best wherever you are. These tools are for life so they are the best investment.
Colour Analysis
1 to 1 £265 or with a friend £250 per person
It’s a powerful moment when you see how the right colours lift your face, brighten your eyes and give your skin a healthy, vibrant glow helping you look younger, slimmer and healthier. That’s when confidence begins - not forced, but natural and lasting.
In your colour analysis workshop we’ll discover which seasonal palette truly complements your unique features - your skin tone, eyes and natural colouring. Then we’ll pinpoint your WOW colours - the ones that make you look fresh, energised and effortlessly stylish. Importantly, you will learn how to combine your colours in the most effective way for you.
There’s no pressure, no “rules” - just expert guidance and surprising discoveries. Even if you already have favourites, you’ll likely find a wider, more flattering range than you ever imagined. The result? A tailored palette of colours that enhance how you look and feel - at work, at events and every day.
This isn’t just about fashion. It’s about knowing yourself better, saving time and money and feeling great in your own skin. Colour analysis gives you lasting tools to make smart style choices with ease and walk out each day looking and feeling your absolute best.
We will also discover your best foundation colours, lipsticks and teach you a 90 second routine together with hair and accessory colours.
Style Consultation
£380 approx 5 hours
Imagine walking into a shop and being able to pick out clothes that help you look and feel amazing – stylish but still authentically you.
In just one enjoyable, stress-free session I’ll guide you to a clearer, more confident understanding of your wardrobe. You’ll leave knowing exactly which clothes flatter you, reflect who you are now and make you feel fabulous every single day.
We’ll define your personal style - shapes that suit your body, styles that capture your personality and smart ways to dress beautifully on a budget. You’ll learn the language of clothes - how to express your individuality through looks that send the right message.
We’ll also build a capsule wardrobe so you can enjoy effortless style with fewer clothes. Getting dressed becomes simple and joyful.
I’ll show you how to spend wisely, avoid wasteful buys, and discover accessories that elevate your style.
You’ll leave with confidence, clarity and a wardrobe that finally works for you to turn heads for all the right reasons.
Make-up Workshops
£95
Let's make make-up simple and beautiful, fresher, younger and appropriate. Fun days to get you back on track using all your new colours with hints and tips from the office to out for dinner, the weekend, on holiday.
Men’s Colour and Style
Colour £265 and Style £380
These are great tools to elevate your attractiveness and authenticity, project your status and learn how to dress from both a business environment to social occasions. We can then take you shopping to create a capsule wardrobe and discover how easy it is to look and feel great!
Team Days
Colour analysis brings a fresh, engaging and impactful dimension to corporate team days. More than just style, it's a confidence-boosting experience that helps individuals understand which colours enhance their natural features and personal presence. For teams, it becomes a shared journey—breaking down barriers, encouraging self-expression, and sparking conversation in a relaxed, inclusive setting.
Incorporating colour analysis into a corporate day inspires employees to embrace their individuality while aligning with the company’s professional image. It improves self-confidence, enhances presentation skills, and even saves time when dressing for work—all of which contribute to a more empowered and cohesive team.
But most importantly, it’s fun! The sessions are lively, interactive, and full of “aha” moments as people discover the shades that truly flatter them. It encourages laughter, connection, and creativity, making it an unforgettable part of any team-building day.
Whether you’re hosting a leadership retreat, wellness event, or simply want to reward your staff with something unique, colour analysis delivers lasting benefits and positive energy. It’s not just about clothes—it’s about helping your team look and feel their best. Ready to add colour, confidence, and connection to your next corporate day? Let’s create something brilliant together.
Shopping Trips
This is where the fun starts!
We'll identify what’s missing from your wardrobe—whether it's gaps in your essentials or pieces to elevate your style or for an occasion.
We can shop locally or in London or near you. Many clients say it gives them a real boost in shopping confidence as they explore styles they'd previously avoided or brands they've never tried. It’s a chance to step out of your comfort zone with expert guidance, refresh your wardrobe, and find pieces that feel just right for you to suit your budget.
Wardrobe Review
Together, we’ll go through your wardrobe and clear out anything that no longer serves you—simplifying your choices and refreshing your style. I love helping clients rediscover what they already own and explore new ways to wear favourite pieces and create new looks. We’ll create fresh outfit ideas, identify any gaps and make a list of key items to add.
The result? A streamlined wardrobe that works beautifully for your lifestyle and makes getting dressed easy and enjoyable.
Wedding Service
Feel confident and radiant on your big day by discovering the perfect colours and style for your wedding dress, bridesmaids’ outfits, flowers, and overall theme. Your personal Colour and Style session will be tailored to your special day, making sure every detail complements your skin tone and reflects your personality for you to look your most beautiful on the day.
Mothers and bridesmaids can be included too, ensuring your whole bridal party looks and feels amazing in their best colours. Your wedding photos will capture a harmonious, elegant look with everyone glowing in shades that truly suit them.
You’ll also learn flattering make-up tips and techniques to enhance your natural features, giving you long-lasting confidence. And the benefits don’t end after the wedding — you'll be able to use your newfound knowledge every day.
We’ll plan your colour scheme, create a personalised shopping strategy, and I’ll provide contacts for trusted suppliers. You’ll leave with your colour fan, helpful resources, and the clarity to make brilliant style choices, not just for your wedding, but for life.
Welcome to my beautiful, colourful, relaxing studio in Marlow
A beautiful, peaceful place where you will find all the answers. It's full of treasures to inspire you too. A great space to start your journey with your colours and style. Welcome!

View TestimonialI now see why 80% of my wardrobe hangs there unworn for years – these things are for someone else – NOT ME! I have realised that I do not have to be a Snow Queen AND a Princess AND a Headmistress, I can just be me – Natural Classic. What a relief! No wonder I struggled to find something to wear on a daily basis, few of my clothes reflected the true me. I also see that all stylish women are true to their style personality. So what if I can’t wear black, some women can’t wear my luxurious, luscious bronze".
The Style Day helped me understand how to dress for business so much more effectively - I have been promoted twice since!"
"I have spent all my life feeling bad about my appearance and, as a consequence, my physical self-esteem has been very low. As a business woman, my image is important and I began to realise that my appearance wasn't working for me.
Having my colour, image and make-up done by Gabrielle was a revelation. Despite my lack of taste in clothes, she at no time made me feel judged. Instead, she gently showed me what would suit me, displaying sensitivity at all times so that I felt completely safe to be me".
“Colour Analysis changed my life! You may think that’s over the top and before I had it, I would have too, but it’s true. The class has been worth the money ten times over”.

Welcome – Take Your Space with Confidence, Courage & Impact
Hi, I’m Rosee Elliott -Your personal style expert and House of Colour consultant.
Do you ever look at your wardrobe and feel like you’ve got nothing to wear? You’re not alone and that’s where I come in.
I help women discover the colours and styles that bring out their best, so they can dress with confidence, ease, and authenticity. This isn’t about chasing trends it’s about finding what truly works for your shape, colouring, lifestyle, and personality.
Your clothes should express who you are. When you feel great in what you’re wearing, you naturally show up with more confidence and impact.
If you’ve ever felt stuck, unsure of what suits you, or overwhelmed by your wardrobe, I’m here to guide you. Let’s simplify your mornings, unlock your style, and help you feel like the best version of yourself every day.
How I Can Help
Why Colour & Style Matter
We make snap judgements about people based on their appearance—often before a single word is spoken. The good news? You can take control of the message your clothes are sending. Wearing the right colours enhances your natural features, making your skin glow, your eyes brighter, and your overall look more vibrant. Dressing in styles that flatter your shape means you’ll always feel comfortable and put-together, without wasting money on clothes that never quite feel right.
There’s no magic involved—just knowledge. And once you have that knowledge, getting dressed every morning becomes effortless, enjoyable, and empowering.
I offer a range of services to support you in your colour and style journey. Whether you want a full transformation or just a little guidance, there’s something for everyone.
My Services
Colour Analysis Private 1:1 (£285) | Group Class (£250 per person)
Discover the colours that make you look and feel your best. During this session, I’ll use precision-dyed drapes to determine which seasonal palette works best for your skin tone. You’ll leave with a clear understanding of what shades enhance your natural beauty, plus tips on how to incorporate them into your wardrobe.
Personal Style Consultation 1:1 (£385) | Group Session (5hrs, £350 per person) | Mini Style (2hrs, £250)
Ever wondered why certain outfits make you feel amazing while others just don’t work? This session uncovers your body shape, clothing personality, and the cuts and fabrics that flatter you. It’s all about making style work for you, rather than the other way around.
Makeup Consultation (£120)
Learn how to enhance your natural beauty with makeup that complements your unique colouring. From foundation to lipstick, I’ll guide you in selecting shades that harmonise with your skin tone for a polished, effortless look.
Wardrobe Edit (£175 for 2 hours)
A streamlined wardrobe means less stress and more style. Together, we’ll go through your existing clothes, identifying what works, what doesn’t, and how to make the most of what you have. By the end, you’ll have a refreshed, functional wardrobe filled with outfits that truly suit you.
Personal ShoppingIn-Store (£100 per hour - maximum 2 hours)
Shopping doesn’t have to be overwhelming. Whether you prefer a guided in-store experience or an online look tailored to your needs, I’ll help you find pieces that align with your colours, style, and lifestyle.

Already had a consultation but need a little refresher? This session helps you fine-tune your wardrobe and confidence with your colour and style choices.

First, you’ll learn how to dress with confidence, knowing that your colour choices are working for you, not against you.
Second, this knowledge transforms how others perceive you—whether in the workplace, socially, or simply out and about, the right colours can make you look healthier, more approachable, and effortlessly put together.
Third, colour analysis creates a streamlined, mix-and-match wardrobe where every piece works in harmony, saving you time, money, and frustration. No more wasted purchases or piles of unworn clothes—just a curated collection that truly serves you. Finally, this insight puts the joy back into shopping and getting dressed. Instead of feeling overwhelmed, you’ll shop smarter, buy less, and wear more, making every outfit an expression of your best self. The truth is, we all wear clothes every day—why not make sure they’re working for you? A colour analysis is not an indulgence; it’s an investment in yourself, your confidence, and your future wardrobe.

View TestimonialI just wanted to thank you for a really great day when we came for our Style day. It was a very enjoyable, interesting day and I was totally in agreement of your assessment.
I was a bit shocked when I looked through my wardrobe the following day and realised it was full of baggy, floaty things. Things I did like but can now see why they are wrong for me.
I have spent a fair bit of time going through the information and have had a few shopping trips. I do find myself being drawn to things I know I shouldn't, it isn't easy to change your mindset but I am being very strict with myself. I definitely have a better understanding of why some things aren't right for me.
I have bought a few items and am keen to keep in mind that everything should be an 8, 9 or 10. I'm looking forward to getting to the point where I love everything in my wardrobe.

Welcome to HOCGlos at Lindum House Kemerton
I’m based in the beautiful village of Kemerton, in the north-west of Gloucestershire — just 5 miles from Tewkesbury and 4 miles from Junction 9 of the M5. My studio, Lindum House, sits right in the heart of the village, next to The Crown pub and the War Memorial, with free and easy parking available on nearby Back Lane.
Your session will take place in my spacious lounge studio, with a bright conservatory overlooking the garden — perfect for accurate Colour Analysis thanks to the natural light. My aim is to make your visit a relaxing, pampering experience that feels like a wonderful treat.
Sessions usually begin at 10am, but I’m happy to be flexible and can offer some Saturdays or summer evenings by arrangement. Most bookings include a light lunch — just let me know if you have any allergies, preferences, or if you’d prefer a shorter, tailored experience.
Located just 10 minutes from the new Cotswold Designer Outlet, my studio is perfectly placed for making a day of it: enjoy your personalised colour or style session, then treat yourself to some mindful shopping.
Whether you’re looking for a confidence boost, a wardrobe refresh, or simply a special experience, I look forward to welcoming you.
My Style Journey
Life experience brings wisdom and empathy. At 67, I look back on my life...I’ve had a corporate career, and I’ve been a busy mother juggling work and family. I was widowed in my 40s, a life-changing moment that made me reassess my path and ultimately led me to a rewarding career with House of Colour.
Like most women, my body has aged and my shape has changed. I have also survived breast cancer, with all the sudden physical changes that chemotherapy brings. During the most difficult times, I found that looking my best became even more important. When I was newly widowed, getting dressed each morning signalled to my teenage sons that “Mum was still the same — not everything had changed.” During chemotherapy, on the good days, wearing makeup and clothes I loved helped lift my spirits and showed my loved ones that I was positive and determined.
Right now, my style challenge is preparing a capsule wardrobe for my son’s wedding in Italy next June! I need outfits for over a week, as we’ll be travelling from the cooler Austrian mountains to the summer heat of Italy. Thanks to my House of Colour knowledge, planning my wardrobe feels exciting and enjoyable — not overwhelming or stressful.
I would love to share this confidence-building knowledge with you.

How I Can Help You? As an experienced stylist of 15 years I offer the full range of HOC services to support you in your colour and style journey. Whether you want a full transformation or just a little guidance, I look forward to working with you.
Colour Analysis
-
Transform getting dressed everyday into an effortless and joyful experience with our life-changing colour analysis.
Through precision-dyed drapes and my expert training, I provide you with invaluable insights of knowing your season; a palette of colours customised to your unique undertones. Our approach is inclusive, serving people of all ages, races, ethnicities, and genders, ensuring that your season remains a timeless guide throughout your life.
Experience the three essential components of our colour sessions:
First is our world-class, scientific draping process that we have refined for excellence and accuracy over the past four decades. Next, I will provide advice on jewellery, watches, glasses, and, when applicable, hair and makeup based on your season. Our makeup eliminates the guesswork, enhancing your natural beauty with colours perfectly suited to you. Finally, we’ll dive further into your season as we identify the best colours for both your casual and professional life, uncovering your collection of WOW colours.
You will leave your appointment equipped with a fan of your seasonal swatches and a tailored brochure filled with personalised tips and reminders specific to you, empowering you to confidently shop for and wear your new colours!
For optimal accuracy, arrive at your analysis without spray tans or makeup. Your privacy is paramount, so no photos will be taken or shared on social media without your consent.
Investment:
• £280 for an exclusive 1:1 session (approx. 5 hours)
• £250 per person for 2 or more people booking together (approx. 5+ hours)
(Group bookings: maximum of three clients. For larger parties, I can collaborate with my colleague Sophia Carter.)
Children’s Colour
A lifetime gift of confidence and ease with clothing. Perfect for children aged 7–13.
For teens (14+), we recommend an adult consultation — supporting them through proms, interviews, and boosting self-esteem. We also offer guidance on natural, professional makeup for girls starting out.
Investment:
£90 per child
Make-up Consultation
A 90-second everyday makeup look is part of the Colour Analysis session. If you would like more guidance on how to apply makeup in your seasonal colours and would like to experiment with looks for different occasions, a dedicated masterclass will help you learn professional application techniques tailored to your unique palette.
Includes a personalised workbook and access to all products, so you can confidently recreate the looks at home.
Investment:
£125 for an exclusive 1:1 session (approx. 2.5 hours)

Wedding Services
Make your wedding unforgettable with a personalised colour and style consultation. From choosing the perfect shade of white to finding a dress that suits your body shape and personality, I’ll guide you every step of the way.
I can also help coordinate bridal party colours for a beautifully harmonious look. With personal experience as a mother of the groom at a stunning Scottish castle wedding in 2022 and currently planning a 2026 wedding in Italy for my youngest son, I understand the importance of getting every detail just right. Whether you need colour analysis, personal styling, or even shopping support, I’ll be there to make the process effortless and enjoyable. Let’s create a wedding look that’s uniquely you!
Style Analysis
-
Discover the science and psychology behind personal style by unlocking the power of you. During a style analysis, I'll empower you to seamlessly combine your inner self with your outward appearance, so you can step out into the world radiating confidence as your authentic self.
We consider your proportions, personality, and preferences to give you a style framework - we call this a “Clothing Personality."
You will confidently know which fabrics, prints, patterns, accessories, necklines, details, and silhouettes flatter your unique body architecture best. By integrating your personality into this framework, our style analysis transcends mere fashion guidance, going a step further to help you identify how you feel in different styles and pieces, ensuring that your wardrobe not only reflects your style but also represents your individuality.
For this appointment, you’ll bring 5–10 items from your closet that you LOVE and 5–10 that make you wonder why you don’t feel good when putting them on. Together, we’ll use this information to help you discover why you gravitated toward and loved certain pieces and what it is about the others that weren’t working for you, saving you time and money in the future! At House of Colour, we believe clothing needs to be adjusted to you, not the other way around. It is our goal to make sure you feel your most confident as who you are and how you look right now.
You’ll leave with a book with detailed information specific to you that we’ll fill out during the appointment and a Clothing Personality card with keywords that will help guide you when shopping. If you’ve already had a colour analysis, this card can be inserted into your fan which will make shopping easy and efficient!
Investment:
£375 for an exclusive 1:1 session (approx. 5+ hours, with follow-up support)
£325 per person for 2+ people booking together (approx. 5+ hours)
Wardrobe Edit
-
This appointment is designed to apply all the knowledge you gained in your colour and/or style analysis and appointment and apply it to your own wardrobe. Together, we'll filter through the pieces you don’t wear so you can donate or resell them, keeping your closet free from clutter so you can better mix and match pieces in your wardrobe to create more looks with fewer items.
This process liberates your closet from clutter, empowering you to effortlessly mix and match pieces to unlock endless styling possibilities with fewer items.
Investment:
£150 for 2 hours (exclusive 1:1 session)
Personal Shopping
Consolidate your colour and style knowledge in real life. Whether shopping for a special occasion, a holiday, or a complete wardrobe refresh, I’ll guide you step by step.
Typically, we shop in Cheltenham, starting with John Lewis. Together, we’ll do a “supermarket sweep” of items in your colours and style, then refine in the fitting rooms into “yes,” “no,” and “maybe” piles. The choice of what to purchase is entirely yours.
Some clients come once and feel empowered to shop independently; others return once or twice a year for a seasonal wardrobe refresh. (Colour and Style Analysis required beforehand.)

View TestimonialFor two close friends and I it was time to stop buying clothes without thought and get qualified advise on colours and style. I read through a few profiles and Sian sounded and looked very professional and friendly.
Our first session was to establish which colour season we were best suited to. Sian immediately made us feel very welcome and relaxed. We had fun, found out lots about colour and were spoilt with a lovely lunch and other naughty treats! The day absolutely flew past.
Our second session was style, we arrived with an array of our own clothes to try on and received some fabulous advise on what looked great, what didn't and why plus how to make an informed choice considering our personalities, shape and size.
Our third session was skincare and makeup application, more great tips on products, colour and how to apply.
We ALL loved our three sessions with Sian.
We ALL love our new colours and styles.
We ALL love our new found confidence.
Thank you so much!

View TestimonialWanting a more ‘put together’ and polished look, I turned to HoC and had my colours and style done a little while ago. This gave me new insights, particularly into good colours for me. When it came to my own wardrobe however I still felt at something of a loss. Wondering how to pull it altogether and unable to see the outfits for the clothes!
I needed a second opinion on what to keep and how to make it work and what really wasn’t for me. I needed direction to begin to build a capsule wardrobe & help in putting outfits together. Sian helped me to work though the items in my wardrobe, guiding me in what flattered me and what didn’t.
Her advise to stop trying to ‘match’ colours etc. and allow my coordinating palette to work for me was liberating. I also found her guidance on the best length of tops for me & better trouser style incredibly helpful. It felt like we were working as a team and on a journey together.
Sian helped me to identify some gaps in my wardrobe and suggested possible items but allowed me to think about what I would like. It has given me a new enthusiasm for building outfits and I feel more confident in my look.

View TestimonialSian made my friend and I feel very at home immediately. The studio was very attractive with lots of interesting things to look at.
The session has given me lots more confidence about the colours that suit me most. I immediately started to declutter my wardrobe and first of all got rid of " the black" apart from a favourite pair of trousers! I was on a bit of a mission for a while but it has certainly made shopping easier. And I have had lots of complements about "looking very together".
Thank you Sian the experience was great.

It confirmed a lot of what I already knew about which colours suited me and gave me the confidence to try new colour and style combinations. It has also saved me a lot of time, money and energy when I go shopping because, at a glance, I know what works for me. Meeting new people and enjoying a healthy lunch in Sian's 'happy' studio was an added bonus on both my colour and style days. Loved it!

View TestimonialI have always thought that black flattered me and was easy to match with other colours if I wanted to be a bit more adventurous. So much of my wardrobe was black. I also bought tops to go with specific bottoms, and ended up with a wardrobe full of separates that could only be worn with a couple of other things. So very often I had a wardrobe full of clothes but nothing I wanted to wear. After learning my colours and getting some shopping pointers, I have clothes I want to wear, that I know suit me. It makes me more confident, and makes shopping so much easier.
It was a relaxed, lovely day. Sian was very patient with me and my friend as we were both clueless about clothes, shopping and stepping away from blue and black!
I would recommend this experience to anyone.

View TestimonialHaving my colours 'done' has been my main subject of conversation for the last year and a half! I can bore my friends and some strangers for hours about it, and spend a lot of time persuading them to get it done themselves. I found the whole experience fascinating and it has made me much more confident in wearing colours as I now know what suits me. I am now happy to wear colours together that I wouldn't have mixed before, and, as an Autumn, I have cast out all the black and grey in my wardrobe which I can now see visibly washes me out. It makes shopping a lot quicker and easier as well, as I can whizz through shops, selecting or ignoring items based on what works for me.

View TestimonialThe colour analysis day was a completely unknown quantity for me as it was a rather surprising Christmas gift. I wasn't offended to receive it but I felt a little sceptical about the concept.
The tone of the day was set as soon as Sian opened the door. She is a great advert for what colour can do for you and is smiley, relaxed and informal.
I was really intrigued and surprised by some of the theory behind colour analysis and when we started looking at ourselves wearing different colours the impact was undeniable.
The whole experience was fun, informative and though provoking. Sian was knowledgeable and happy to answer questions and we had more than a few laughs as well as a lovely lunch!
I'm in the early stages of making changes to my look but I'm already enjoying seeking out new colours I wouldn't have thought of buying before.

View TestimonialHoC was such a fun and valuable experience. I never thought that colour could do so much for a complexion and appearance.
I am Autumn which was quite surprising - I always thought I was a spring. But the before and after photograph just emphasised how wrong I was.
I don't enjoy shopping, mainly because of my shape/size and often buy things that look good on models but not myself. Now knowing what colours suit me I feel more confident that I will not waste money.
Siân was so welcoming and I felt at ease instantly.
Thank you, I will never shop without my swatch book again!

Even though I was already shopping in the right season, I was staying safe and it was great to find new colours that I would never have looked at before or had the confidence to wear. After seeing how they all work together with the colours I already love, I am really excited to start putting together the wardrobe and look I have always wanted.
Sian was so lovely and it was so nice to have some time to focus on myself and feel special.

All of my clothes I can wear are now hanging in one wardrobe or on one shelf or in the drawers. I’ll tidy up the drawers later today so I can see everything at a glance. It’s my intention to look through a number of google images of the celebrities and see if there are any current items that draw my eye (for things I NEED to add to my wardrobe).
I’ll also have a look at the Kettlewell website later to see what they have available for staples and the Sosimply.com website for trousers.

I was somewhat surprised to find my Colours were not what I was expecting although the design of the class helped me to understand what I should be looking for to enhance my look. I would wholeheartedly recommend this class to anyone who is interested in updating their look and/ or wants to make the best of themselves.
The advice given will be invaluable in the future for choosing/ buying clothes for everyday needs and for that special occasion when you really want/ need to look your best.
The make-up session was really useful too. Don't hesitate to book a class with Sian- you will not be disappointed and you will have a really enjoyable and informative day. I shall be booking a future class and I'm looking forward to it already!

It is well worth the investment and when you meet with Siân you are not just getting the individual colour and style session for a set time you are there, you are also benefiting from her wealth of knowledge and experience in this field. She is truly an expert and she makes you feel so at ease and gives you the confidence to become the real you. She is amazing, really listens to you and directs you in a lovely relaxed way.
I cannot wait to pull together outfits keeping in mind what I’ve been told. The colour class was great but the style class is the cherry on the cake taking it all to the next level. I will be keeping in touch and building my confidence with my new found knowledge- Siân gave my one tip on top lengths that alone was worth the visit.
If you have had colours done I strongly recommend the style class they go hand in hand.

View TestimonialI was diagnosed with Parkinsons in 2012. Like all such diagnoses, it came as a real blow to my physical and mental confidence. I have since managed to cope with the disease, but what has given me a real boost has been the opportunity to enhance my self-image thanks to Moira Cox. My Colour Analysis Session, which was empowering as well as fun, gave me a real appetite for revamping my wardrobe and I now have a very different palette of clothes which I get great pleasure in coordinating and wearing. Choosing clothes to wear used to be tiresome for me, now its an uplifting and life-affirming experience, not least because it has elicited such a positive response from friends and colleagues. It has been very heartening to have people increasingly comment on how stylish and colour coordinated I look rather than focusing on my disability. I can truly now dress to impress and it works!

I am looking forward to using my newfound knowledge on my current ratings and how to apply them to my business. I know I will benefit hugely as you are never more your own brand than when you run your own business… Thanks again for a lovely day.

My mission is to make getting dressed in the morning easier, quicker and more successful so we can rid the world of dull and dodgy outfits one by one.
Tailored to you, colour and style analysis ensures you can quickly and confidently know what clothes and colours work for you, meaning that you can forget about what's in this season and confidently build a wardrobe that works for you every day.
Pick n mix your clothes from any store because its about the right shape and colour for your personality and work style not the right label. Your wardrobe works for you leaving you free to sit back, feel just a teeny bit smug, knowing you’ve got the perfect outfit to make the right impression without saying a word.
The analysis process starts with your skin tone to work out which palette of colours will make you look fresher and brighter. Then we move onto body shape analysis, an objective view really does make a difference! The data gathered during these analyses combined with the your lifestyle and your personality allows Jane to discover a signature style that is tailored to all areas of your life which means you can dress effectively for every situation.
With access to our brand new style portal, MyHOCLookBook, you will be fully equipped to make conscious outfit choices.
Then you can move forward to a wardrobe review, giving an overhaul to your existing clothes and showing you where the gaps are that can be filled on a shopping trip, either in person or online, to keep your wardrobe interesting and on trend. After all, no one wants to look out dated and dull!
The ultimate in styling, which takes the donkey work out of clothes shopping and ensures you can confidently make the right outfit choices.

View TestimonialAfter having children, I, like a lot of ladies, got a bit stuck in a rut of wearing boring clothes that were functional rather than attractive, and then losing confidence the break out of the 'black, blue, and white' clothes (t shirt & jeans- every day), but being so bored of my clothes choices, yet not knowing enough to change.
I then started a business with my husband and had to look better (Networking meetings etc.) and it was there that I met Jane, so bright, so lovely and looking stunning! I booked on her colour analysis class, followed by her personal style class and it changed my life! Honestly!
My confidence has now increased, my wardrobe looks colourful and interesting, I actually enjoy clothes and going shopping!
Also I hardly ever have an 'I have NOTHING to wear' moment and I get LOTS of compliments.
I would recommend Jane without reservation, go on, just do it! You won't regret it!

View TestimonialJane Brook has actually made a real difference in my life. I’d like to share how.
I had my colour and style session with Jane in 2014 and subsequently hired her for a personal shopping session. I wore the outfit she chose at a business networking event and someone who was a real potential client came straight towards me and said, you haven’t been here before have you? I asked him how he knew that, he said you stand out, I’d have noticed you if you’d been before.
I was in a room full of business people and they were all in grey or black. I was in business clothing but looked and felt great in some of my best colours.
Later in the year I went through a difficult patch in my relationship. My partner went to see Jane and had his colour and style session and a personal shop .When he turned up at a big family event I stopped in my tracks, he looked amazing. People were saying is that really him? He looks so well and so much slimmer and younger, wow.
That night helped me see him in a new light and as a result, we are back together and stronger than ever.
I had always hated shopping for clothes, I never knew what to buy and usually ordered several items on line then tried it on at home and then I would send it all back.
Now I buy clothes and like what I buy because of what Jane has shown me.
I cannot recommend her highly enough and in fact I do, often.
I had never learned about colour and clothing shapes, but when you know what to wear you can feel better and more confident easily. They should teach this stuff in schools!

View Testimonial"I went on a "date" with a guy...
2nd date, all in a flap about what to wear - went to my colour guide you gave me - went to House of Fraser equivalent where I was and bought a striking green top - wore white trousers with it - walked into the pub and he said 'Wow you look fantastic' ! And I said THANK YOU ! hehehe. Then met him again and I was wearing "my colours" but with flats this time and we said something about height - he said - well you must be 5ft 8 - I'm not - Im 5ft 5 - he was stunned! Its all about the way you walk and the colours you wear - confidence!!" Xx

View TestimonialAgain an interesting and enjoyable day, I left with a sense of direction on how to develop my wardrobe and shop sensibly; together with a clear understanding on what styles suit me and, importantly, why.
I am sure I will no longer be taken in by those sale assistants who flatter and tell me something looks good and how useful that item of clothing will be - I'll be the judge of that in future.
I think another wardrobe declutter is coming soon. The last one made a tremendous difference.
Thank you Jane

View TestimonialI'm Esther and my business is called, 'Online Media Works'. I specialise in working with creative businesses to improve their online presence.
I was looking to update my look and my wardrobe because last year I had breast cancer and after my mastectomy my body confidence had plummeted.
I found Jane Brook via Facebook about three years ago and 'having my colours done' had revitalised the way I viewed myself (I'm a winter!) and I felt I needed another boost and a refresh.
Jane is so lovely to work with, she's positive and full of inspirational ideas. It can be daunting inviting someone into the deep recesses of your wardrobe but I soon discovered clothing combinations that I wouldn't have thought of and new ways of wearing different outfits, just by accessorising differently or by pairing with shoes and bags that were languishing unloved and unworn in the depths of the cupboard.
Jane has saved me so much time in the mornings, as I no longer have choice anxiety over what to wear and I am getting more confident in putting my clothes together so I look cohesive and effectively promote my personal brand. As a result, I'm more positive when I look in the mirror and my look reflects the real me.
I would thoroughly recommend Jane for a wardrobe session, it was just what I needed to add some zing and new ideas which positively impact on my life every day.

View Testimonial"Well WHAT an experience it has been working with Jane!
Her energy, passion and enthusiasm for what she does is intoxicating!
She says it as it is and gets away with it as it comes from a good place and she really wants you to look your best. I thought the colour analysis was brilliant - I would never ever have worn electric blue but I look fabulous in it!! Then the style session blew me away! And THEN the personal shopping - well, THAT was phenomenal!! Worth every penny. A memorable (and by that I mean you learn stuff so you can independently shop and also is it such an amazing experience it will stay with me forever). I cannot recommend Jane highly enough. She has transformed the way I look & feel. Hilariously, whenever I wear outfits that Jane arranged I get between 6-12 compliments on the school run! When it's my 'old stuff' people just say "Morning Gilly". Says it all .
Thank you Jane - you are an amazingly talented woman!"

View Testimonial"I can highly recommend a personal shopping trip with Jane. It's like shopping with a good friend, only better, because Jane already knows what you should look great in and she'll also tell you quite clearly if something isn't right for you! Jane won't try to persuade you to buy anything you're not sure about, but she will encourage you to consider clothes you'd never normally pick off the rail, so you can have fun trying on new styles. For me these, mint jeggings included, turned out to be some of my best purchases."
